I have dabbled in semi-short term rentals but haven't gone full bore night by night AirBnb.

Those not familiar with the market for a single family (semi detached or row house), your starting price is well over $500K for an older home (and that is outside of Toronto). 

There are some markets a couple hours south of me with semi-affordable opportunities but they can get a little dicey neighborhood wise. 

SE MI here. 

I don't mean in SE MI where I am at, I just mean they change fee structure market to market all the time. 

My hopes for real estate investing are to eventually (years from now) secure a semi-passive income stream that requires minimal hands on management. 

I have a semi-illegal employee who has been working on getting his permanent residency.

I currently work as a semi-truck driver doing long-haul loads.

For me, that means no carpet, semi gloss white, cream or light gray wall paint.A renter needed...it will take 2 years of rental income on your tax return for many lenders to consider it as income.HELOC is variable while 2nd mortgage is more often fixed.

I liked how semi liquid stocks are but I can find deals that have a clearly higher ROI than a good portion of my portfolio.
