If you have a existing client base you may already have a customer that is a savvy investor and would make a decent partner.

I know it isn't realistic to most people to expect fully distanced but it would be nice to find something that's a bit more on the online side.How can I satisfy this 40 hour commitment without this new job dramatically interfering with my existing commitments?

The borrower does not have a mortgage lien against his or her principal residence but does have a financed second home and is personally obligated on the mortgage, two existing financed investment properties and is personally obligated on both mortgages, and a financed building lot.

Ask for a rent roll, bank statements showing rents paid. existing lease, tenants original application hopefully with DL pic and social security number.  

Flipping homes or wholesaling are both considered earned (or ordinary) income. 4) I think you are assuming there are tax advantages to an LLC that don't exist.

(if that even exists anymore)IMO if you are looking for a rental/ investment property with the goal of property appreciation and decent rent take a long look at Calgary.We are already seeing a lot of migration from Ontario to Alberta and that is only going to pick up as home prices are so cheap.As of this post, there is a full SxS duplex / 3 bedrooms per side for ~$480,000 for BOTH sides

)3) Cash out refi with existing partners to cover down payment on new place.

Ask the existing owner for a copy of the lease of all the other tenants.  

@Daniel FelixMy advice to to speak with a licensed HVAC tech and have them come out and check current temperatures in each room with existing unit, as long as it is still operational.

The existing good actors (those already paying transit tax and with few neighbor complaints) will get priority.
