A new smaller furnace and AC unit outside costs around $3400 (direct cost...I just got one). 

@Nathan PlatterThe short answer is No, your friend cannot directly invest in U.S.A. real estate from within his RRSP.A self-directed RSP, with some restrictions, may write notes and hold mortgages for real property in Canada, but it cannot own property itself.FYI for Omar as well.

They'll collect your email and phone number and send you deals directly.If you want to take a direct approach to getting deals on your own, you could get in direct contact with homeowners who are interested in selling their home but haven't listed the house for sale yet.

The LLC investment, not a direct real estate investment, was made by your IRA  - and that LLC still exists.

Direct quote from HUD.gov, stating that owners and managers may set reasonable occupancy limits outside governmental limits.

if you self manage you may be able to keep expenses trim at around 30%, if water/sewer is direct billed, i wouldn't pay more than 130k due to market, how small it is, and lower lot rent. and that is based on 50% expense ratio w/ 10 cap applied with more conservative expense ratio to build in a little bit of room for error.

Are you working directly with the AM or the agent?

First off maybe it would be easier to read about others success stories so if there is a way I could be pointed in the right direction that would be great.
