I know the difference between the two, but I'm trying to figure out what exactly might be prompting the seller to transfer with a SWD instead of the standard GWD?

The house isn't a high quality home and seems like a big ticket repair would wipe out any profits.Right now we are looking into purchasing investments that could potentially make us more money in the long term.

Because every home has different features, building material quality, and age of materials, (maybe the kitchen was renovated 5 years ago) the value and depreciation can vary greatly.The rule of thumb I've used for easy ACV calculation is if its a frame home depreciate by 1% per year and if its brick then its .5% per year, up to a max of 50% depreciation.

It looks like you would save money on the purchase, but what do you find the quality of the homes are?

Forget "renegotiating" if it's a short sale or REO, I haven't had much luck there....standard sale ya, you have some wiggle room.

The rehab will probably not be as high quality.In the complete rehab property it will probably end up being less of an investment overall and you will get a higher quality rehab.We have mostly gone with the full rehab properties, as we feel it is a better value in the long run.

I confirmed the premium with CMHCBecause a 6plex falls under “non-standard” units it will fall under CMHC but once again we can try to ask for an exception

You do a full premium rehab or just standard rental rehab?

Per their standards, MIP is sticking with me until I get to 78% of the original appraised value at time of purchase.

All of my financing so far has been standard bank loans, or creative bank financing with non-standard loans and equity lines.
