I have read lots about a property needing to be 5 units for the banks to view them as a commercial operation, but this is always referring to the States, but I don't know if this applies to Canada, specifically BC. 

@Matt EngleThank you very much for the info, I will surely look for the book and read it and will get back to you once I’ve.

Please read entire scenario before responding.

Any help on how this works, or even some links/books that can shed some light on a direction, and how this is done properly would be great....Thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to read my stuff and answer ;)

I’m currently reading both the book in flipping houses and estimating rehab costs.

Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52761-the-simple-guide-to-getting-started-on-bp The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciatedThe last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

Hello, I'm new to buying/flipping and all the information I've read suggests that I should obtain a specialized buyer's agent. 

I've read and heard a million times about pulling out equity in a home and then using that to acquire more property, but I've never put it into action.I wanted to hear from the BP community about:-the best way to implement this strategy- loan companies to talk to, realtors in Las vegas etc-I don't think they want to manage the property, so perhaps a property manager-A good real estate agent to find their next houseThank you!

I would also recommend making a saved search for your keywords so you can get the updates on the info you want to read.

I spend the time to research and find a "reasonable" investment, read the disclosures, then begin the contract, offer (all cash), and earnest money scenario.
