Which, for the time being, actually does seem somewhat sustainable because of such high levels of immigration and high demand for residences in the city.

You found it a lot easier than usual, but WHEN you have a vacancy or a repair that has to be made, it will cost you money.I wouldn't consider the financing to be a permanent solution either.

I get excited thinking about multi-family units/apartments and providing solutions, solutions, solutions.

My solution to this was to post that there was an open house that night and anybody who was interested can come within a 2 hour window.

As a new agent, my goal is a sustainable and healthy long-term strategy but I'm also trying to secure as many listings as possible.

thanks @Christopher Phillips for the info - i just checked with my bank - the RBC bank and they do have a mortgage solutions for the properties in the US, i called for an appointment,but is this the best option, for instance what if i try to start a company based in the US - a local LLC, would it be easier (or cheaper), do you have / or heard about the abroad investors using the local US solutions for finance their business in the Statesdon't get me wrong - i don't have any problems with my credit score nor with the financial institutions in Canada, i'm just looking for the best deal...

I am taking over my family's real estate portfolio and am looking for a RE software solution for accounting and property management needs.

@ Gary baker, there may be a solution to your quest especially if you want to consider a property below market value.You can PM me for more details.

In our market, the max sustainable rental is about $1300 and the associated property max value is about $150K.  

I will need predicable, sustainable, income to do that, and the more the better.  1% rule works great for me, here in TEXAS.
