I am new to real estate investing and was looking into taking a heloc on my primary to purchase land and do a construction loan.

My investment criteria never changed.  

My real estate agent there says he isn’t concerned with the permit situation in Rome and he invests there himself and manages quite a few of them for other clients as well but I’m not as confident in the government there as he is. 

I've been looking at different programs, mostly through the government for areas that I'm interested in investing in, but have not really came across anything that I would be a candidate for.

I’m very grateful and lucky my investments have built so much equity and capital but I would like to move it into monthly cashflow so I can work away from a w-2.

What if a tax accountant has a lot of knowledge and experiences of tax laws including investment, would it matter?  

I am in Calgary and looking to invest locally.

I have only been using the bank accounts to pay business/property bills and pay down related debts, he has been using the business bank account for anything and everything from purchasing vehicles to other personal non related investments.

Maxed out bedrooms and amenities for $$$ (5 bedroom, 3 bath with game room/theater and indoor pool).2.

I have some liquid cash in my U.S. bank account and would like to start investing in real estate.
