A suggestion about Furnished Finders, their calendar sucks because you can't block off your high-season months, a real detriment to taking bookings through them.

However, their terms involve a 20-year amortization, a 5-year ARM, and a rate of prime + 0.5% thereafter.I’m exploring other options for financing and would appreciate any suggestions or advice.

I suggest you turn your moment into the best learning / earning moment.  

And there are a couple of folks in town who are suggesting using installment contracts as workaround, as well.

Are you suggesting the Regs would not hold up?

I can suggest some other areas as well depending on where you guys are looking. 

Can't give you suggestions for financing, but for where to buy look at Alberta or another province without foreign buyer. 

It's crazy to think some RE agents are suggesting owners to put their houses up cause fed funds reduced, they completely misunderstand but I let the market do what it does-- market.

Does anyone have experience with this and have a suggestion of which to go with?
