@Amber Kushnerthx for the reply.From what i'm learning, LLC is no good for Canadians as you will get double taxed.

I was struggling trying to wrap my head around the double-taxation aspect but I think I've understood it now.

I own a park and some 20 double wides on their own land.  

I know WA is a little tough for cash-flow, so you wouldn't want to house-hack into something that won't even cash flow (now or later if you end up renting out your unit).For more general considerations based on your initial question--buy a house for yourself or an investment property--check out-https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/01/1...But even if an investment property, you'd still want to double-check all of the numbers.

You can also do a simultaneous close or double close. 

As long as the property makes cash flow when you withdraw your funds, and you can buy another home with those funds, you are nearly doubling your capacity.

Numbers or sometimes a little off but you're supposed to double check anyways but numbers are very close to accurate! 

Also, I hate the fact that for taxation reasons I need to "double" input the information from my PM into my QuickBooks, manually.

I ultimately plan to utilize double close, but like I said just trying to get my feet wet.  

Of course, always have it double checked to make sure everything's proper Kevin Walker good luck!
