Success is a process, failure is a choice

Success is a process, failure is a choice

@Avery Carl Do you echo Chuck's point that once the new homes come online, we will have more choices and price/inventory pressure will be reduced?

The Home Buyers Plan is definitely a good choice, and you're completely right about the Toronto market.

With the time difference depending on where you are deployed and how much time you can devote to seeking out potential repair man or contractors and dealing with the hassle of non-payments etc. it really would be your choice.

I'm starting to see that targeting mom and pop apartments with older owners seems like a wise choice. 

Does option 2 require you to add a kitchen once you know that it will give you a better understanding of your ROI for each choice.

Whether you want to be prepared to defend yourself or not is a personal choice.

SF and MF will potentially perform differently in these three areas, so it depends on your plan.For example, a MF might cash flow better, but won't appreciate as fast and can't be exited as easily, so therefore is maybe a better choice for a long term buy and hold.

Many choices available on amazon, for example.
