I have a strong passion for multi-family residential and commercial investing.Any ideas?

I strongly suggest due diligence in any situation before making a decision.

Hi Rodneisha,Damaged door and stolen Blinds (you have been robbed by a strong interior decorator)...Better than stolen furnace, hot water heater and copper pipes.Maybe put a steel security door on the rear (and front) to make the new renters feel more safe, as well as motion detector flood lights way up high on the house in the back.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

You'll need architecture drawings/blueprints, etc. and a compelling reason your request should be approved.

I would strongly suggest talking to someone in the permit department at the city to get a straight answer.

I strongly suggest you get a PM, (property manager).

Try to find a local credit union or regional bank with a strong commercial lending division.

I feel like with the BC market being so strong you will likely need to sell at least one property to be a competitive buyer in BC.Another thing to consider is what happens to the status of your primary residence if you turn it into a rental.

Would you recommend pledging an account vs. using cash for a downpayment to somebody in a strong financial position with a high paying W-2 job?

1031 exchange with a qualified intermediary.Hubbard clause where it allows them to sell their home first before buying.Have a strong buyer lined up off market who is patient, then when they have found their new target property, sell to the buyer off market.
