I have found that renters don't read much of any listing. 

I'm currently reading "The Book on Rental Property Investing" and have a goal to start my investing career by purchasing a small multifamily to house hack by the end of 2019.Any advice on either topic is greatly appreciated!

However the population drain isn't as dramatic as the stats you read would lead you to believe.

@Matt EngleThanks, that is what I have been reading about house hacking.

I would listen to some of the bigger pockets podcasts and read some of the articles they have. 

Hi BP Community, I don't post often in the forums but do actively read through them.

I had a quick question, I'm a newbie and have read hundreds of books and forums on getting into RE investing.

I have read lots about a property needing to be 5 units for the banks to view them as a commercial operation, but this is always referring to the States, but I don't know if this applies to Canada, specifically BC. 

@Matt EngleThank you very much for the info, I will surely look for the book and read it and will get back to you once I’ve.

Please read entire scenario before responding.
