That said, @Don Konipol‘s  info that an unrecorded CFD would be handled behind any liens is new news that we’ll be looking into.

Spending my weekends for two years away from family was a mistake and something I will not repeat.Good news is this was the project that created enough capital for me to continue with my investments.

I just read this article about the Seattle fair housing law and I thought it opens up some very interesting issues that people might want to discuss.The subject line says Proposed, as i was unable to edit it out (my apologies).Here's a link to the article I read:https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/seattle-s-fair-housing-law-most-progressive-country-now-landlords-n1004321

https://magazine.realtor/daily-news/2019/06/21/watch-out-first-time-buyers-mom-and-pop-investors-are-swooping-inHome purchasing activity among investors has reached the highest level in the past two decades, shows a new report, “Investor Home Buying,” released by CoreLogic.

I’ve also heard of people studying tax records to see what properties in certain areas sold for what prices over a certain length of time, as well as following the news to see what’s happening in the economy and how it may affect the real estate market as a whole.I’d love to get a discussion going on what everyone has done or currently does to further educate themselves in their market, because knowledge is power and the more we know the more we grow!

I see a lot of 7-8%, even double digit capitalization rate properties, which are beyond unimaginable returns in Canada.

From a rental perspective, we try to have a goal of a few items:Minimum of $100 per door after all expenses are paid and leaving no money in the deal (i.e. no down payment)Over 8% on Pro FormaDouble Digits on Purchase Cap RateYou seem to be hitting all of those though leaving a bit of money in the deal.

Resellers can be a good source of notes once you're investing for your OWN account-- as long as you're dealing with someone reputable who may be able to get you double-digit returns for some nice passive income.)Anyway, as you refer the notes you find, you watch what the investor does, observe what they'll accept or not accept, and for the notes they accept, you earn a certain amount without putting up any of your own money.

For a long term rental I think it is a waste of money unless you are in a high crime low income neighborhood.I use Digital watchdog commercial grade cameras outside at my Vrbo.

@Ray Slack Okay this is great news!
