Can't see the forest for the trees, and all that.)My dad is 73, and lives on Social Security - about $1,400/mo. 

I also noticed that many Canadians use insurance brokers, and I am also wondering what are the benefits and costs of using an insurance broker.

Hey everyone I am new to Canadian real estate investing and have been told to buy my first property using a corporation however I've also heard that some banks won't allow you to close or purchase an investment property with a new corporation without personally guaranteeing it, should I just buy a property in my own name and later create a holding corporation?

The next couple days ended up approximately half the time spent going over what we already covered in Boots On the Ground: Including, Wholesale, How to use social media, What is a hashtag?!

Certainly won't protect you from fairhousing fines and penalties.Where it really protects you is if you have someone working for you and they mess up, then the financial damages would limited to the LLC, assuming you weren't part of the negligence involved.Regarding taxes, using an S Corp treatment can help with situations around self-employment taxes, which is just social security and medicare.

@Brandon Sturgill actually I am a veteran but Canadian thanks for the advice

We are also putting 30% downOur plan is once we have the visa + social security number we can build credit then refinance with a 'standard' loan in around one year from now.My question is we have been offered 8.74% with 1.25 in borrower paid points, these points translate to a $2,811 fee added to your closing costs.  

Start working on a following with your social media platform.

I simply think it is always worth a reminder that yes, social consciousness and investing are 2 separate concepts, but you are certainly welcome to be a socially conscious investor and still achieve great ROI.

My biggest challenge is being a Canadian resident investing in US real estate.
