When someone is exploring where to dump a ton of money, it would be smart to explore all options...not just the city with the best weather and tacos :-)

Mostly because landlords have more power and freedom to raise rents and get rid of bad tenants much unlike Ontario.

But, it CAN give you some more credibiilty and options.  

You have a few options here.

There's 2 different options for us, both near 70 acres.

They also assume the rent-by-room option is the best way to go because they can get multiple nurses to share a home so they want to buy a larger home, thinking they'll rent out all of the rooms and make more money.

That's a perfectly good option if you're up for it.Remember that the goal of a house hack doesn't need to be to 'eliminate' housing cost entirely. 

So the only option is to pay in full and then buy the house, which makes the price way up.

Two options I see as a landlord 1) If lease has been violated, eviction notice could be sent. 2) Request a new lease be signed due to new terms (whatever I decide they may be) and then not approve the adult child to be added.Has anyone else dealt with a similar issue or have a recommendation?

Is Private equity buy out or REITs a feasible option..etc?
