The right agent will have worked with Canadians before, will have lenders set up that can work with Canadians and will have a seamless process for management.Not only can an agent set you up with a GC, property manager, lawyer, insurance broker, inspector and everything else you need, they can analyze deals and put numbers in front of you.Your job as an investor is to vet the vendors they are providing and double check their analysis.  

Check with your lender to make sure you heard it correctly. 

My fear is the lender calling the loan due because I wouldn't have the cash available to pay it off.I don’t know of many cases where a lender would allow an assumption let alone a “subject to “ situation.  

My best advice is to work with someone who can easily plug you in with their network of GCs, PMs, and lenders.

Floating rate loans are normally quoted at SOFR plus a spread, a profit margin for the lender.

I think that a Short Sale would be the best option to get some discounts/concessions from the lender - however you would need to have a knowledgable Short Sale agent on the seller side.

Check with your lender before you do anything.
