I’ve owned certain companies outside Canada and would do all finance/cashflow myself, but real estate is a new field to me as well as doing finance in a country which is not tax free.Example questions: Under which entity should I be under before purchasing real estate to protect myself and my family from bankruptcy?

@Nik Moushon In addition to tax strategies I would also consider asset protection as your journey forth with rental properties. 

The agent value comes in analyzing the value, neighborhood trend/knowledge, how to read/research the seller as to motivation, protective and trap clauses in the wording of the contract, which lenders actually perform, which title companies to avoid, which inspectors to use/avoid, how to negotiate when problems occur prior to closing, etc, etc.....all of which You you are not experienced/competent in.So, You decide.

In a normal sale with a lender the P&S protects against financing not being secured.

That's called a credit report, and its not available to the public.

Yes , we do a mortgage and promissory note for each deal to protect them- but the attorney prepares that included in her closing cost. 

Feel free to PM me if you would rather not post praise or criticisms publicly.

It’s located in an excellent spot backing an popular bike path, in a good public school system, and close to popular parks and recreation.I’ve got a few different ideas for the property but I’m really just not sure where to start.

Nope, no way to protect yourself unless you already have a property under contract.

Therefore we look out for their best interest as well as the help, safety and welfare of the public/anyone whom will utilize the space(s).
