Live in it 2 years, then sell tax free (this is the tax code in the US, not sure if there is a capital gains exclusion for capital gains on a primary residence in Canada)?

these are not mutually exclusive. good flipping market= plenty of buyers,+ room to make a profit. good rent and hold market= positive cash flow with lots of renters.

good communication is key______________________CONTRACTORI am learning too, but you know what, use COMPETITION and FUTURE work as leverage.I like my guy but when I use him exclusively he starts slacking! 

Shhhhhh @Alex Chin, we are an exclusive group of investors!  

Get an equity partner for the MF.These are not mutually exclusive options.

I always had exclusive buyer's agency agreements with my agents - they worked only for me, and I worked only with them, not with other buyer's agents.  

Thank you,TonyHi Tony, You qualify for the 121 Exclusion (Section 121 of the Internal Revenue Code) since you have owned and lived in your current house as your primary residence for at least 24 months out of the last 60 months (2 out of the last 5 years). 

Technically, you aren't bound to an agent, unless you've signed an agreement with them to exclusively represent you in the purchase of a property.

Now, if I'm the listing agent and you call me, I'll find out whether or not you've signed an exclusive buyers agent agreement.

Just a civil suit by the lien holder who has an exclusive right to foreclose on his/her lien and take possession of the property upon 'Final Judgment'.Thanks much for the input.
