The purpose of this reply is that the result of all that credit activity plunged my 800 credit score down to a 500 almost overnight.

I own a half-duplex that I live in, but for investment purposes, my home city is too expensive for rental properties to have a good cap rate, so I’m looking to buy elsewhere in Canada.

The purpose here is to create enough captured equity that I'll be able to 1031 the houses (defer taxes) and afford the larger loan for a multi-family later on.

Over the past two years between rentals and flips I have bought and sold over 30 properties and I keep asking myself should I get my real estate license again solely for the purpose of handling my own transactions and having my own access to the MLS?

I’d like to say I did this on purpose, but I sort of stumbled on it.

It serves the same purpose as protection using an LLC. 

From death threats to tenants being murdered to overdose to theft, property damage, fire, destruction, damage & everything else in between.The purpose of this blog is to peel back the curtain on the Property Management Business and show you some of the real life things that have happened to me or members of my company 1st hand.

Since we don't live in the states, we're trying to get creative with our funding and investment areas but we haven't seemed to pick definitives in either category (although we have been checking out Georgia and Ohio mainly since they seem to be in our budget). 

The increase exposure on E&O is the main hurdle. 

We're wondering the best way to set up our business for banking and tax purposes.
