My experience has shown that you can make significantly more money with practically none of the problems and stress!

Finally, it just seems too risky to me to get a bad tenant in there, and then have to worry about 11 months of bad behavior/damage when I could have reduced that to 30.

So, if it can pass the rigorous stress test of the bank and the state does not reassess, it could be a home run.states are trying to limit the use of this loophole so it is getting harder to use.

Reduced security deposit of no more than 50% of a month's rent.I see the writing on the wall and am already heading this direction.

If feasible, I am considering using this strategy to more quickly build my portfolio by reducing the time needed to build up capital before acquiring another deal.

Investing here can be stressful if you don't know the area or work with a local investor or realtor well versed in the area.

Most management companies take 10% of the monthly rent, but it leaves you stress free.

You WILL have to live in the building, however, and as he said, a four-flat doing more than giving you reduced/free rent.

I see too many new constructions around GTA, and I was wondering if a good idea to invest in a house that the closing date will be in 2022 or 23, so downpayment can be paid gradually, also inflation rate will do its magic to reduce its price value compared to the market at that time. any comment? 

It didn't cashflow but definitely reduced my mortgage!
