If acquired, this could free up 10% of your cash as Canadian real estate requires a 20% down payment on secondary residential mortgages.

Hai, I didn’t say jump right into acquiring but rather learn about self storage directly rather than learn about other classes which will delay or distract you.  

How are you planning to acquire the property?

I should be able to acquire 3 to 4 properties in the next 3 to 5 months, so can keep them busy for the foreseeable future.

I understand most of the due diligence of acquiring new tenants, how to manage and how to keep tenants happy.

My interest is to start acquiring more rental properties (single family or multi-family) in St.

For some tenants, if you supplied them a rental that didn't have any leaks in the roof, they would be improving their situation.When we acquire a property with tenants already in place, we make a list of things we want to improve and then chip away at those over time.

On the days I don’t have much going on I feel excited to buy real estate, but the next day might be packed with work and I don’t have the brain space to think about acquiring property.

On top of this I want to make sure I have plan in place to acquire new property,using the cash out money, that also will cash flow.
