I used a private lendor to fund the re-hab (cash) and owner financed the purchase price (minus down payment) I have a bank account linked to Stessa and I see the cash deposit in the transaction tab. 

.- Cities like Toronto will levy another tax (Vacant Home tax) equivalent to 1% of the current assessed value of the property if the property is not occupied (rented, owner-occupied, family occupied, all count as occupied)- Land Transfer Tax: while the Province of Ontario charges anywhere between 0.5 - 2% of Land Transfer Tax when your transaction closes, you should expect to pay this amount twice if the property is in the City of Toronto .

Im assuming that is what would catch any errors in owner distributions, deposits, profit/loss? 

The sale evidently resulted in Quest’s owners getting zippo (hearsay, working to confirm that). 

As long as you are on the loan, on title, and live in the home for 12 months minimum, then your non occupying coborrower can qualify for 5% down at owner occupied rates.

I had to explain to her that when I rent from you, I have temporary owner's rights and you can't just walk into my house whenever you want.

Myself and the majority of people on BP that call themselves real estate investors, should be calling themselves real estate business owners.

We feel this encourages/trains good payment behavior:)We have several MoveIn Specials owners can approve like, free TV, Washer or Dryer (used), etc.Our main goal with MoveIn Specials is to stand out from our competition. - Just lowering the rent really doesn't do that.

If you need cash for remodeling new home do a LOC on your owner occupied house before you rent it. 

It's doesn't have to be 20% downpayment for a owner occupied home.
