I have done five deals so far using my own money or traditional financing. 

@Nathan PlatterMy {limited} understanding is that the Canadian RRSP does allow for certain non-traditional investments such as real estate and mortgage notes. 

The properties have market value which can be determined by reviewing recent comparable sales.

Traditionally, there was a 2 person per bedroom rule. 

The potential partners I have been talking too also like the diversification of holding less stocks and the stability of real estate prices, at least in our are, compared to stocks also. 

Seems out east in the upstate New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut area there are alot of 4-6 plexs that I can purchase for $50-75k that need $75k worth of work but average apartment rents in the areas are 1k per unit per month when rented.I would like to find an investor that will lend me the $150k upfront so I can purchase and remodel the property and when fully rented get traditional funding for the property. 

So 1 of my referrals, who is a banker, is looking for a non traditional lender who can financed a borrower with a not-so-great credit scores. 

Traditionally Non-QM doesn't have any limits on the numbers of properties financed?

Its in the Old Colorado City (some compare it to the next Denver or Portland with the "hipster"/millennial influx) with unobstructed views of the mountain range and Pikes Peak, which really drive up cost here. 

If you qualify traditional financing is almost always cheaper.
