I also like to recommend Cohen and Dube's "Legal, Tax and Accounting Strategies for the Canadian Real Estate Investor" ... it is a good reference over all, but it is a decade old now and could use a refresh to incorporate regulatory changes. 

I plan to start off wholesaling and I am curious to know if anyone has a broker/ company they can refer.

Your talking about 30 bucks a month.Just a frame of reference, I pay 6% for 20 yrs.

In most cases, if there is no prior relationship I would pay a realtor for their time and make a point to refer people to them over time to help foster that relationship to a point where referrals could possibly be exchanged for their time.  

You can get a short term interest only product but your solution will be dictated by the details of your situation 

A couple of references to cap rate on this thread sound backwards to me.For example, your question: those who are primarily appreciation driven at what point would they be invested in a low cap rate property with a higher cap rate historically..If I was appreciation driven, I likely would be a market timer (i.e. buying when it's low).

So my salary was actually referring to almost a management fee.

@Johann Jells She is referring to a private residence, not a commercial structure or public facility.

Rents are about $1500 while his monthly payments lay around $2000.He now is tired of the townhome problems and wants to short sale, but I am trying to see if there is another option to save his credit and create a win-win for him.After looking at the comps I'm having difficulty searching for that solution. 

When you say “getting into residential real estate,” are you referring to buy and hold homes?
