So, in Phila, when the property taxes go unpaid there is a high likelihood of other liens, particularly for water/sewer and natural gas; since it's a board up, they might have code citations, and they might not have a vacant property license as required by Phila!

I have just today applied to both Uber and Lyft (after reading another poster suggest to someone else).

When you approach the bank, I would look for a commercial loan structure as they can be a bit more flexible than if you were applying for a residential investment loan.  

Btw I'm only 18 and still school and can't apply for credit yet.

I'm not sure they apply for investment properties.

That said I am open to mixing in other models as they would apply such as flipping, straight cash flow, as the opportunities presented themselves.In any case, I am wondering if I should focus on a SFH acquisition for my next play, or a multi family property.  

All bids should be pretty close in nature for any job.  

As you dig a little deeper into the actual release by the provincial government the regulation only applies to licensed agents and appears to be "self-policing" by the industry itself ... so it may amount to a little more discretion, but not elimination of the behaviour.

If less than 6250 it probably wont work - but you can apply for a variance with little time and cost.
