You can utilize flexible investor loan programs to help secure property. 

The Oregon location, I'm trying to work with my brother on getting him an FHA loan and me covering the cost on a multiplex and he has been delaying a bit.

A little background - I'm a nurse and have been hoping to find a market that pays decent when compared to the cost of living and also has high prospects for growth.

Rents do go up over time (as do costs, but hopefully at a lower rate). 

This might be a workable scenario for me.Lack of experience would not kill this deal for us but it would depend on a few things.Usually the biggest challenge for newer investors is in the amount of equity you have available to infuse into the project.You need to have a cash down payment to secure financing.With 25% Down you would be in a multiple financing offer situation where we're just fighting to get best deal possible and batting off Wholesale Account Execs left and right.

We found a tenant, signed a lease and collected the security deposit with a July 15 move in date. 

I want to convert the church into a house, which will cost about 100k.

Just a way to reduce the cost of us having a place there.

I would think having a landlord or rental dwelling policy is a much higher cost to be mindful of.

Man Ontario is tough on landlords.Can't charge application fees, can't collect security deposits and I've heard it can easily take a year to evict for nonpayment.Yikes!
