It's definitely an advantage to have access to many different markets at once.

@Jesse Dadon Those are all very different markets...how/why did you land on those as your top selections? 

I received an email from an apartment owner saying that he is planning to unload several of his properties in the upcoming months and he plans to take advantage of the 1031 tax code.

I do like the links between games and real estate of knowing the rules and using those to your advantage to win the game, ie or to succeed in investing.

I know that one of the bigges advantages to owning MHPs is the fact that the units are tenant owned which is much less of a hassle/expense.

@Jeffrey McKee,Reading your post, reminds me of a tenant we just got rid of-- I call them "Laura Lawyers" because they think they are much smarter, and will read the fine print to their advantage and disregard all the good things you did-- ie: not charging to break a lease.         

With interest rates at such lows now, I'm hoping to take advantage before rates go up.Finally I want to admit, I have a lot of fear, but a even more excitement to begin my real estate journey. 

We invest in rentals to take advantage of CRA tax deduction - the interest generated by the mortgage for the rental property is tax deductible.

From there we make a selection.

However, my wife seems nervous a little bit to have a lawyer as a tenant, concerning their may abuse their professional advantage, victimizing the landlord and leading us to a possible vulnerable situation, as they may pick up on any tiny issue to make a big deal.
