Maybe spend the next year coming up with a very specific plan of action on what you want to invest in and where and how you're going to do it and then work towards the goals.

I was hoping to hear some of the common lenders or institutions that my fellow canadians might commonly use for hard money loans.

Keep your common areas clean and neat, possibly have a house cleaner come in twice a month for these areas if your budget allows it, have solid house rules that you enforce regarding at a minimum quiet hours, parking, smoking, pets, and visitors just for starters and be sure to run it like a business and decide if you will have month to month terms, 6 month terms or yearly terms.

It is pretty common but there isn't much that can be done really.

My goal is to keep this property long term, refinance in maybe 3 years when interest rates have hopefully come down and my property has also increased in value.Thank you for your help!

I'm very curious; it's not common to see new construction go Section 8. 

We are interested in investing out of state, with the goal of generating consistent cash flow.

@Shivani KumarLet’s say they have to get a pest control company to do something and it’s a third party company - they will charge 5% which is very common as they have management to bill and coordinate that activityMany places I see this 10-15%I would make sure to check indemnifications clause with an attorney

Kick around the forums to see where others are investing, then look at those markets to see if they fit your tastes and goals.

Our goal is to provide information, education and networking opportunities.
