Hi Rachel, what was the purchase price? 

They take a while to assemble but the price and selection is good. 

Because of my goal, the Canadian real estate market doesn't seem particularly great for this, especially with the overwhelming average and median prices of homes, so I believe it would be in my best interest to invest in the US market which has much better prices and can give you a better bang for your buck.

BREIT by blackstone is private, not publicly traded, and is only sold by blackstone chosen financial advisors, it has 4 different class shares and most have huge load fees (1.5-3.5%) and yearly AUM fees (1.25%), and if you sell <12 months from any share purchase they charge you an exit fee of 2% of NAV price , so be careful with that oneI've invested in many syndications for passivity/market beating returns/tax benefits currency debasement running at 15% a year since GFC(2008), (ie M2 money supply growth) so you have to get >15% just to tread water in USA now

I'm very intrigued by a property that is in a great neighborhood and will appreciate very strongly, but using any sort of financing on it the cash flow return is deep in the negatives for a couple years even though the ask price looks like a good deal compared to other houses around.

As an aside, they can save 6% of the sales price in real estate agent fees by selling to you.

Hey Ryan, What is the purchase price?

My lender requires 20% down for the original purchase ( he uses my security deposits for the 20% so in essence he koans me 100% of purchase price ) - I then pay out of pocket for any rehab costs ( here is where you use your CC ) then we get it reappraised I refinance pay off original loan pay myself back and then repeat often having as many as 5 props at a time now down to 3 we are rehabbing.So...

The rent to own company requires you to have 3% of the purchase price for a down payment but using RRSPs would result in standard penalties for removing these funds.
