Money to start and the time commitment you can give to your investments makes a huge difference in what and how you invest.Money to start if small will naturally limit what you have available to purchase unless you use a partnership etc. and pool funds.If you do not want to partner with anyone and you analyze what you can buy and do not want that then you need to move outside your area for a purchase or save up more money to buy what you are targeting.

I'll try to keep it short and sweet.Me (Mid/Late 20's) - 120-140K/after tax - Own 1 condo DT Toronto renting at (-500) cashflow - no debtSister (Early 20's) - 120-140K/after tax - Looking to purchase first home - no debtParents (Late 40s/Early 50s) - 320-340K/after tax - Own 1 Townhome in Collingwood (Appraised 200K higher than when they bought 2 years ago) and recently moved into their new townhouse near Wasaga Beach (already gone up about 100K).We're all looking to continue investing, we really like Collingwood/surrounding area and the way the markets going but we're flexible as we're usually on the road about 80% of the time anyways so living arrangements aren't of most importance.My general idea is to take advantage of low interest rates, find developers (Townhomes, Possibly Condos) and use our numbers/purchasing power to negotiate better deals/first priority, while others have recommended either pooling our funds, possible incorporation or to simply hold off until this covid mess clears up.Would love to hear what you guys think, If there's any other info you need or questions you have please reach out, looking forward to your feedback!
