There is an old joke: you don't have to run faster than the bear, just faster than your friend.There are hundreds of leases signed every week, your apartment needs to be more attractive than 50% of what's out there and it will be rented quickly.So you'll have to do some mystery shopping and (ideally) physically look at your competition.

During the short-term rental (STR) boom, we saw a surge of people buying properties that weren’t ideally suited for long-term success in the STR market.

From everyone’s experience, how would that process ideally take place for multiple units?

Ideally, a response should happen in 10 minutes or less.Hope this helps!

Duplex with dogs isn’t quite ideal but we’re willing to do what we need to do to get closer to financial freedom!

Really excited to learn more and to speak with those (most ideally who live near me with whom I could meet up in person, but definitely not a deal breaker) who are in a similar stage or perhaps just ahead of me, from whom I can learn and feel supported by as I venture into this new world.

Ideally I'd like to buy the property, build another house in the large back yard which has access to a neighboring street for a driveway (also not sure if that would be allowed), and then sell that house completely separately.

They gave you two options that both work out great for them and are not ideal for you because they are a bank.

This is the stage of the process where your lender can issue your loan docs out to escrow/title/settlement and these folks can schedule your signing for closing.Before it can reach CTC you'll need to make sure all income/assets/credit remain the same so that means no changes to your credit that are bad or adverse, no job or income changes ideally, and hopefully those funds you've set aside to close with are still "there," so we can keep this closing on track.If you had any questions left feel free to fire them off.

This does require owner occupancy of both units for at least a year for condo application submission, but also assumes a number of other things including that nothing was performed with respect to prior historical tenancies that would disqualify you from a condo conversion.While the aforementioned would be ideal, it would be all for naught if Planning determines that if at any one time the ground floor was rented in the past.
