@Derek AllenMost of the Big-5 owned brokerages will still allow a non-arms length mortgage to be held by a registered account (Self-directed RSP, TSA or RIF (not sure about RESP)) - but in today's interest  rate environment the costs and overhead of having your registered account lend to you is quite likely not a good use of funds.If you want to hold lend arms-length notes and hold mortgages in a registered account, the only lenders left doing this (as of 2012/2013) were:B2B Trust (a subsidiary of Laurentian Bank);Canada Western Trust;Olympia Trust; andEastern Trust (a boutique lender in NFLD). 

What are the current laws and regulations in Austin? 

Does anyone know what the regulations/procedures are in Indiana for obtaining title to an abandoned mobile home that's in a park?

Might be a moot point, though, because according to the calendar days between my move out and my projected sale date, I think I will not make the 2-year minimum requirements, so 1031 is probably the next best option using the 200% rule.I've also heard on the rich dad series that most qualified intermediaries are not regulated and pool all their clients' funds together for their own investing purposes, rather than having individual accounts for each client, and this presents the possibility of their losing some of the investor's funds that were earmarked for the 1031.

It seems the longer we live the more regulation we see.

But regulators in some states have begun fighting back.Last week, Washington state fined health sharing provider Trinity Healthshare $150k for operating as an unauthorized insurer -- and banned it from operating in the state.

Since you never take title, you really may run afoul of state brokering regulations, at least in some states.There are various other real estate jobs available.

We only want to encourage you to buy smart, particularly in this market environment where deals are plentiful, no need to buy the first thing that comes along, new or otherwise, and pay a premium for it.

Laws and regulations and all.

Information provided thus far is correct.As a long time Ontario landlord the following is the rule.1) Both are on the lease, both are responsible for the rent as long as one resides in the premises.2) The lawyer is blowing smoke and in reality very few lawyers on Ontario are aware of the regulations.3) Only the landlord has the authority to initiate an eviction.4) until March rent is not paid you have no grounds to evict.5) Assuming rent is not paid you may choose to evict both tenants for non payment of rent.6) Cost to initiate an eviction is $170 and will be lost if the tenant is not evicted or pays rent owing.If you issue a N4 you will be releasing the tenant from all monies owed (rent damages etc) if they agree to both leave, and you get nothing except maybe your $170 back.
