Hey @Jordan George, as a Torontonian working in the US (currently in Dallas) for the last couple of years I'll echo all the major points already made above.Lending standards and qualifications are tighter back home than in the US so you won't find near the number of financially distressed sellers in Canada (generally speaking) but anyone could be laid off/have a health scare/divorce at any time of course.

Another troubling stat is that of the large number of the businesses that fail, a significant portion of those do so because of cash flow problems or because they simply run out of money to continue operating.If you don’t want your real estate investing business to be counted in the number that goes under this year, it’s crucially important that you have a keen understanding of the “health” of your business at all times.

My concern would be health and safety.
