One of the most popular strategies is to house hack using your VA loan.

@Suzanne Player I’d be happy to share some information and tools with you to give you a kick start on CRE journey.The good news is that it’s not brain surgery and knowable with the right information.Send me a DM and I will send you a starter kit.

I had a great one 12 years ago & he's back & desperate for work so we'll see how long that lasts.I've met a lot of burned out mid 50's guys over the years with a beat up vehicle & a few tools who will work for $12-$20/hour depending on the type of work assigned.

So as long as you have an exit strategy to pay off that HELOC after you acquire the property, it can be a valuable tool to have when you find that deal.  

So another obtainable goal I have is to gain handy skills and work with tools!

I wanted to know if there were any tools or advice you guys use to come up with how much value you can add to the property.

I just simply wanted to share that landlords are eligible as it is not widely understood.Please, no one should expect this to be a solution, it is a tool in the tool box.I expect more direct relief tailored to landlords to come from elsewhere.

Personally I don't see evictions as an effective tool for Covid 19 so I don't care whether we have them or not right now.

*Is there a new tool or search engine that will comb the MLS for you to find "distressed" or Power of Sale properties in Ontario?
