Due to a significant spike in demand, housing prices have skyrocketed, making it nearly impossible in some areas of the city to find solid returns as a real estate investor.

I obviously can't pick and choose what score to accept due to the Land Lord tenant act laws.

Hi Jessica, welcome to the community!

I have made some investments in Canada and now i would like to expand my horizon to cash flow properties in the US.

If they want to use it as a bedroom, they can do so even with the open wall.

The main house has a pool, so it adds complexity because of the increased water bill.I have though of two options, one is to make the main house foot the bill, but that will surely cause me issues down the line when they start questioning the use of water and electricity of the other tenants.The second option I thought of is to include all utilities also for the main house, so me footing the entire bill.

I would buy a place all cash if was an option but the best part of the refinance is that you can use the current equity and the potential new rental income to purchase.

Many investors wonder why they can't take the first or the next step, but the reason is usually not as related to real estate or analysis paralysis as they think.
