@Jesse K. im curious, say if property 1 is 400K and you paid down 100K, would it be possible to refinance the remaining 300K into a 30 fix rate mortgage in order to give you an increase in cash flow? 

At this point I am not certain what the future holds for me as an AirBnB host, but I nonetheless remain proud of my preparation prior to my first guest arrival, composure in the face of adversity, and overall hard work in becoming an AirBnB host.I hope sharing my story helps you all make an informed decision on the future of your investments.  

My experience is that the best deals have already been snatched up and the remaining residents have been so inundated with the blanket mailers and phone calls carpet bombing them with low-ball offers that they're unwilling to sell at any price. 

If the market prices remain as they are then I would end up with a small number of units and no debt.

If the economic outlook continues to worry the bank of Canada, and interest rates remain where they are or even decrease, it may help keep prices steady.

He will remain on the deed till the 21,250 is paid off then removed from deed on the property.  2) ??? 

I wanted to start with a proper first post and take the time to introduce myself.I grew up in the Southern California area which remains my current residence.

Because I don’t want to invest 100% of the $800,000 in real estate, I am thinking of keeping:10% ($80,000) in savings10% ($80,000) in bonds 30% ($240,000) with financial institutions to invest in mutual funds, index funds, and stocks, And the remaining 50% ($400,000) in real estate.My goal is to allocate $200,000 of this $400,000 to acquire a combination of SFR, BRRRR properties and possibly duplex/triplexes throughout the next year or two.

He could then use the remaining money for a down payment or for rent. 3.

Analytics are great, but real estate has always been and still remains a local business, margins and commission rates notwithstanding.
