I also like to recommend Cohen and Dube's "Legal, Tax and Accounting Strategies for the Canadian Real Estate Investor" ... it is a good reference over all, but it is a decade old now and could use a refresh to incorporate regulatory changes. 

I plan to start off wholesaling and I am curious to know if anyone has a broker/ company they can refer.

It's a multiple choice test.

My point is that if skyscrapers is your niche of choice, don't expect to close many deals.

Your talking about 30 bucks a month.Just a frame of reference, I pay 6% for 20 yrs.

In most cases, if there is no prior relationship I would pay a realtor for their time and make a point to refer people to them over time to help foster that relationship to a point where referrals could possibly be exchanged for their time.  

As a practical matter, you might be able to get around it by including a jurisdiction/choice-of-forum clause in your loan documents.

My dad brings a lot of experience to the table when it comes to renovating a house so I’ll just have to make a choice

That being said, be careful because if things went south, it could result in a major penalty Might have been better to post a hypothetical question and a faux story to get the answerFHA loans are owner occupied, 5% down also likely owner occupied - read the contract Once you have 20%-25% equity in, you can refinance and go conventional I can't recommend either way for you, but I can say others have done itOnce your loan is conventional, I'd say you've got very little to worry about - the choice is yours

It certainly makes it difficult to get into those, as (if you're like me) you are financing and can't risk a zero condition offer.Flipping in Smiths Falls I think would be a good choice.
