Most parts of RI have a high demand for good rentals so getting a good tenant in by Jan 15th shouldn't be too hard depending on the area.  

@Lydia Bolling most of the hard work can be done anywhere you have an internet connection so your lunch hour and after the kids go to bed are perfect times to do research, if you don't have enough time maybe the solution is to narrow the search so that you have less properties to sift through

I’m in the philadelphia area and finally through some VERY hard work I was able to track down an interesting lead.

If you aren't willing to make the hard decisions now at the beginning of your real estate investment and career, then you're sure going be leaving a hell of a lot of money on the table during that time!

I see people with hardly any income, securing 3 properties in a span of months and was wondering how they are doing it.Down payments are no problem for me, but qualifying for mortgages is an issue.I understand people may use VTB's etc... but are there other ways of creative financing in the ontario market?

It is sometimes hard to keep holdover tenants out, and without them doing additional damage.

If CMHC is giving you a hard time then just go to a lender that uses Genworth or Canada Guarantee rather than CMHC - they are the other 2 companies allowed to do high ratio mortgage insurance. 

There is a 1,900 Sqft. house on the property that is in great condition for a flip, but its hard to decide whether the deal should be analyzed as a residential flip or commercial property opportunity.

And competition is much lower.Maxi storage are hard to find but surprisingly, the returns can be really good if you find the right properties.
