So that reduces my ability in being able to buy a place unless there some way around this.

My only change is that I reduce the management fee for owners with eight or more units under my management. 

I was very nervous to buy my first home and spent so much time stressing over whether we bought the right one.

(such as things that can reduce taxation both in US and Canada)As a beginner, should I independently finance or take a loan and buy more units?

If things like that continue, demand for goods will drop drastically reducing prices. 

then the bank came back to me and accepted and I reduced the purchase price $15k.

Most importantly, reduce risk every way possible.

Reduce spending in other areas so you have money available to make your house payments.

It's a really dumb loan.Do a DSCR loan for the rental properties and take cash out to 70% loan to value (LTV reduced because they're listed and you'll have to pull the listings). 

Vetting properly should reduce this risk but I'd at least want the security knowing that we're not tied to living with each other if there are issuesAside from these two questions I have for the builder, is there any other question you'd recommend I ask the builder?
