No room was untouched, and the outside also had significant work down.

They are outside now.

I happened to look outside my preferred area and found a 4plex.

As far as my research goes, many other provinces have much more balanced regulations for landlords vs tenants, as well as very affordable prices.For any Canadian investors (whether in or outside Ontario), what is your experience in investing in other provinces?

If you want to do a live in flip, you could buy a property outside the city limits of SLO and be at a better price/sf.

Rather, you could plan your real investment, outside of your business to offset you taxes.

I am at the point where I am out of liquid assets, and have left my W-2 job to focus on real estate and a side business, so I cant get another traditional mortgage, and a deal like this could really be helpful with my current situation.So my question: What are some good ways to structure an equity partnership with 1 or more outside partners in which they provide all, or almost all of the cash, to fund the deal, and I do all the work?

You are outside that scope.
