His position is that getting the ideal interest rates on a primary residence is too good to pass up for another rental.

The minimum credit score required is 620 & the ideal credit score: 760+What kind of reserves are required per property?

If you want to get started in real estate investing then I'd highly recommend buying the newest fourplex you can find in an ideal location.  

I'd have to agree with Sam, house hacking is great, but also starting out with a rental that you'd live in is ideal.

So I have an opportunity to convert an existing large addition(15 x18) at the back of home (away from current bedrooms) into a master suite with full bath (making it a 4/2 with an office). 

I Have a bungalow with a legal basement suite in Avenmore and I need to replace my manager.

ADU's or Mother-in-Law suites offer so much flexibility.

Multi units prefer 2+ bedroom units, 1,000+ square feet each unit, side by side is ideal if possible, want at least electric and gas separate, any area can work for these as long as it isn't a D area, but usually B-C class works best since buying these primarily for cash flow.

Ideally, I'd like to replace the whole thing, but there are alot of issues with the placement of the heating and condenser units and whether there is enough ventilation.

Also, when is it ideal to be issued?
