I looked at Oshawa a few weeks ago but even with the addition of a legal basement I’m still not able to create a + cashflow so my next choice would be KW.

So, From a slow appreciation POV, would you say Durham is a good choice?

LVP is a popular and solid choice these days for sure!  

No matter is they don't go for a specific profession, getting an education in Business Management or Entrepreneurial Studies would be a sound choice. 

My broker presented me with an alternative approach of seller-financing which has a very similar outcome - same down payment/option fee, same monthly, no deed.

Hope you find a better deal 😁Would be great to get an update on what kind of deal you ultimately come across as an alternative if you wouldn't mind.

I actually see this as the worst of all choices as it limits what additional properties you can purchase and keeps you locked into a non-performing asset.I think there is much more risk keeping your money locked in your current house than if you were to redeploy in a MFR or even just dump it in index funds.

The exact wording and length of time required varies by state.Maybe an eviction lawyer / service would be a good choice this first time - then, you can watch what they do.

Alternatively, give the tenant access, but explain that as it wasn't part of the original lease and there are increased costs (water, electricity and the machines), if they want to use it, there will be a small increase in the rent (assuming they are month to month) or a monthly fee if they are on a lease.

What do you suggest as an alternative -- cold calling?
