I am married, have 2 children, and owned my  business for the last 5 years.

Im 24 with a family, I currently work in the oil industry as an AutoCad Drafter but due to low oil prices I have taken a significant pay cut, during this last year I have been doing as much research into the Real estate Industry as possible.

In the last 16 years I have worked in various functions as it relates to finance, real estate and construction.

Hey Nathanael Cotterell I heard there's a big bubble in the GTA and folks are making $200-300k on high end flips with a turn around of a matter of days to weeks.Curious as to why you're not focusing on that market while the boom lasts given your background...

Write it up as a personal letter.When you do all that, then contact a local RE Agent to give you a list of all the houses in that neighborhood that have sold in the last 5 years with all cash.

This is therefore making me put an additional $1212/month more towards my loans for those first/next 7.4 years ($2446-$1234= $1212).If I was to invest this money instead in a property via low money down owner-occupied purchasing wouldn't I be far better off come the end of the 22 years if I chose that repayment plan for my loans, ifffff I rely on appreciation (I know I know, bare with me).I think this because recently, I bought a triplex last year ($235k) and it is cash flowing about $3k/yr (soon to go up when I get rid of my PMI) plus my tax benefits.

The last thing I want to do is get in legal trouble or even make someone feel discriminated against due to their economic status since this is not in line with my beliefs or values.I'll be sure to read up on my local state landlord-tenant and section 8 statutes to make sure I'm well within the law at all times.  

So last week I purchased a VPN service just to get access to loop.net, although I haven't gotten it working yet.  

Lastly, only buy them if, by subtracting their mortgage, plus half of their rent return, you still result in a positive cash flow!

The last stove I had go out I replaced within 48 hours.
