The IRS considers my house as inventory since I am a dealer.

she's excited because rental inventory is low around here.  

Hey @Claire Batraville, I would definitely agree with @Lucas Machado.I'm sure you can find condo's in that price range, but you'll want to make sure your agent is doing good due diligence:You'll want to see: the condo budget, any planned HOA fee increases or assessments, upcoming improvements, delinquency ratio, etc...  

Working on improving your credit score is of course important.

No need for a wharehouse since they don't need to store inventory, etc.

If you want to improve your cashflow another 10%+ you should self manage.  

This has caused office demand shrinkage and excess inventory on the market even though not much new office is being built.

Also, tell me anything we could do to improve our chances.

5 seconds into that report Claude just emtnioned;"The Ontario government will spend $31.5 billion over the next 10 years to improve transit, transportation and other priority infrastructure projects.

Also, if you have a 401k you can borrow up to 50% of it's value from yourself, pay yourself the interest and get a 5 year loan on that while you improve your credit.Another option is doing what's called a 60 day IRA loan.
