You will need a great set of contractors, a good realtor who understands investments and a really investment friendly mortgage broker.

I am new to real estate investing and was looking into taking a heloc on my primary to purchase land and do a construction loan.

My real estate agent there says he isn’t concerned with the permit situation in Rome and he invests there himself and manages quite a few of them for other clients as well but I’m not as confident in the government there as he is. 

On investment homes, I have learned that it matters less about how cute they are and more about the numbers. 

I've been looking at different programs, mostly through the government for areas that I'm interested in investing in, but have not really came across anything that I would be a candidate for.

My investment criteria never changed.  

I’m very grateful and lucky my investments have built so much equity and capital but I would like to move it into monthly cashflow so I can work away from a w-2.

What if a tax accountant has a lot of knowledge and experiences of tax laws including investment, would it matter?  

I am in Calgary and looking to invest locally.

There is definitely more options for investing opportunities on the open market than on the land bank.
