Crazy as that sounds @Chris Martin, there is an attorney in the Pittsburgh area named Brad Dornish who has included a similar concept within a home study course that he sells for around $100 titled "Quick turn ..."

In my previous post I was trying to illustrate that some of the items in your initial list were not {closely} related and others were not merely arbitrary regulations or excises forced upon foreign investors, but exist for practical reason and are common business practices {not just in Canada}.Under the residential tenancy act in most provinces, there is a distinction between the "normal" termination of a tenancy at the end of term (Note that in some situations and jurisdictions, only the tenant is afforded the right to decided to terminate the tenancy) and termination with cause - which is commonly achieved through an eviction.The concept of "buying out" the tenant from their lease does occur, but it is a practice typically outside of the legislation (save for situations where the landlord  is entitled to exercise {early} termination - such as taking personal possession of a unit, carrying out significant renovations, or demolishing the property.   

Commercial lenders factor in near cash and pledged assets (e.g. via collateralized line) so the concept of holding large sums in "cash" is, well, just a concept.

If you're buying the property for some reason other than cashflow, then maybe ROI and/or COC are important factors to you.Admittedly, I'm a new investor, and a lot of these concepts are foreign to me, but by and large I think you pick a strategy/goal (i.e. cashflow) and evaluate the property in those terms.

I think you have to appeal to people's sense of fairness, although that is a foreign concept to many HOAs.

Can take the concepts to any RE asset classes 

If you are referring to the home warranty maintenance programs where you pay an annual fee and just a flat repair charge no matter what the repair is, I have no experience with these, but they are an intriguing concept.  

You learn about a new concept called forced appreciation, syndication, etc in this thing called apartments.  

I also don't understand the concept of spending $300k cash to get back $1,000/month, less all the cap ex over the years... can you explain why someone would be willing to do that?

The concept is simple.
