1 acre property to be subdivided into three lots. Then place a dupl...

I have tried emailing the sales team a couple of times but no new info.   

Then there is fraud and you have a lawsuit target(s). 

If the property has continued to appreciate, perhaps him buying you out at market value makes the most sense, then take the cash and roll into a new property.It sounds like you would like him to pick up another $500/month (pay you the $1,000/mo rent + pay 50% of the remaining mortgage split). 

We had already been planning to do some maintenance and repairs (repave driveway, re-insulate attic, replace two broken faucets, other minor items), but were wondering if, for tax reasons, we are better off waiting until we close on the new home and this is no longer our primary.Can this work count toward tax deductions as preparatory work on rental property, even if it's currently our primary?

Especially if you're willing/able to move to the next deal every year.If you buy a new house-hack every year for 5 years, that's an additional 10 rental units added to your portfolio.  

I'm always on the lookout for new deals and strategies, and lately, I've been focusing on off-market groups for flips.

I’m a new investor and live in Delaware County.

You can also contact a local real estate brokerage, like Keller Williams or Re-Max, to see if there are any new agents that want to make a little money holding an "open house" for prospective tenants or could they be available for indivudual showings.

Also with the new policy changes with CMHC high ratio mortgages first time home buyers will have a much tougher time buying their first home so the rental pool will increase leaving more people looking to rent.I currently hold two rentals one in which is an owner occupied rental which I purchased for 200k 7 years ago and it is worth around 275k today and this year I purchased a triplex as well for 250k and as is with no improvements this yields me an 8% return a year which I would say is quite low.
