I would also not keep the cameras when a tenant moves in, not sure if that's allowed but even if it is that would be weird and scare off people.

Again, depends on the market, and many other factors, but it's a market large enough that, if you make the right moves and work with the right consultant, you can easily win at as long as we don't have an entire market collapse. 

I did not want to move or sell anytime soon but fear that this option has been taken away from me.

I sent an email, but it came back as undeliverable.Is this a red flag, and should I move on to other applicants?

My tenants lease is up and they notified me that termites are in the house the same day they moved out.

You must have honest intentions to move into a home if you're getting a primary residence loan for it.

That should be your focus.Personally if you have one mortgage already that is negative cashflow I would be hesitant to buy rright now, especially in canada where from reports their housing situation for pricing is far worse than the US on affordability and just like US, people think prices can only go in one direction but reality is they are moving in the opposite direction.

I told them that it was a better idea that, instead of buying a home first, we can buy an investment property and keep renting after we build some equity, sell it and put the down payment for 2 houses or a duplex and live in one and rent the other one (for me, i could keep renting until we buy a lot of investment properties and then move to one of them), but my family wants to buy a home firts and then the investment property.Can someone give me a light of what is better or the pros and cons.Thank you so much.

Worst Tenant Ever - -Unpaid rent since moving in (6 months)-Refused me entry into my property for inspections-Got gov assistance check for rent, forged my name and tried to cash it in her own account.

Easiest is offer cash for keys.
