You're may be an exception, which is why I included the work "likely".

@Charles WorthI meant on the investors side but I did a bit of research and it looks like a big difference is that a person must be an accredited investor before being able to invest in Patch of Land.

This will definitely not be an option.

If you want to meet for coffee and discuss real estate, let me know!

There continues to be an influx of about 75,000 new residents a year, so the demand for housing is high.

Don't pay more than appraised value, unless you have a very good reason (its like buying a car at msrp).If you need to finance the downpayment, you might have to get creative (e.g. use a HELOC).Seller financing may be an alternative, but you need to ask.

Well, good morning, I've been up since 3:30 answering PMs having coffee, breakfast at 5:00.

If that's listing probates, then you'd better know the process, court system and be an experienced problem solver.

@Justin HerringtonWhile Thorold does not give a maximum occupancy per dwelling unit in a direct manner, it appears to define any building providing lodging to more than four (4) occupants as a boarding house:“boarding house” means a building in which lodging is provided for more than four (4) persons in return for remuneration or for the provision of services or for both and in which the lodging rooms do not have both bathrooms and kitchen facilities for the exclusive use of the individual occupant;In turn, they restrict a rooming house or lodging house (but never marry definitions to that of the boarding house) as follows:Where a dwelling unit contains rooms intended to be used in conjunction with a rooming house or lodging house, the occupants may share a single bathroom provided that: (1) not more than nine (9) persons occupy the dwelling unit; (2) for each additional nine (9) persons or part thereof, there shall be an additional toilet, handwash basin, bathtub or shower; and (3) access to the bathroom can be gained without passing through: (a) a habitable room of another dwelling unit; or (b) an open area, which is not normally heated during the period of the year which heat is required by article 2.22.3 of this by-law.So, it appears to come down to whether boarding houses are permitted where you property is located (and whether they need to be specifically licensed), unless your building would be seen as a non-conforming duplex.This is the question, I believe Thomas was asking.

There would also need to be an agreed time period for the investment (for example 5-10 years).
