@Blair Colsey the people buying that many properties are, more than likely, not using traditional lenders that are pulling credit.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Investor financing on the front end and "cash out refi" into a traditional long term note (commercial note).

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but if you don't have $200K ready right now and access to $800K in loans (traditional or private), then you'll have a hard time getting into the Toronto Market.Hamilton is the closest, most affordable market going west ($60K down, $240k mortgage, on MLS).

The rest of my deals were traditional lenders.

Have only bought traditionally and found a property for auction that I'm quite interested in.

They are all slapped with a higher property tax rate compare to what owner was paying in previous years.

I’ve been trying to get a feel for the market and would love to know current inventory levels compared to this time last year and average days on market per property.

Depending on your strategy and the overall condition of the home you may qualify for traditional financing if you find the right place.

There is the traditional office building with some medical in it.
