You can get some education, network with other investors, trades, lenders etc., that may be looking to partner with someone with your skill set or time availability. 

I have a lender offering 75-80k ltv.

The lender really needs only an MLS listing, copy of contract, proof of ability to close, and an estimated settlement sheet.

These markets can provide more stable rental income even with higher interest rates.Creative Financing: Explore creative financing options such as seller financing, private money lenders, or partnerships to reduce the amount of cash you need to invest upfront and improve cash flow.It's also good to conduct thorough market research, analyze rental comps, vacancy rates, and property management costs to ensure that the property will cash flow effectively.

@Nicolas DupuisIt will depend on the lender and if there are leases in place they can usually use 75% of that income against your debit to income.

NO reputable lender asks for funds upfront besides appraisal fee.Have heard MANY horror stories related to upfront fee lenders and it rarely ends well.

The recent interest rate hikes have taken a toll on this deal for me; however, because now my lender is telling me that because of the changes, I need to pay off more debts to make the deal work.

I would recommend finding a few lenders that can lend to Canadian investors prior to getting into a deal, that way you don't run into any hurdles on the back end.

Chase,Several lenders out there have re-negotiation policies on their rates, I would ask your loan officer. 

Ya it makes sense... you either buy gas or walk.. you either raise the rents or become a charity.. or are you a non-profit charity already ??
