Buying a second property with less than 20% is it smart

[Taylor Summers]

I have a property that I am renting out and living with my boyfriend. I have saved up enough for another property not quite 20% down in Ontario, and I could have him go half in with me to get the 20% but I kind of just want to do it on my own. Is it worth paying the CMHC insurance in Ontario on the property to do it myself? Or should I wait and save more to have the complete 20% down? My other property I have a cash flow of 1200 a month coming from it so living mortgage free essentially on that one and this next one I could have a cash flow of roughly 600.. Wondering if anyone has some advice on what is smart to do save or pay the insurance and get in on this next deal?

Hey Taylor, if the numbers work and meet your criteria then I think you should go for it! The only potential issue I see can be with the boyfriend. I would only get tied up in a contract with someone that I know on a emotional level if it is definitely a long-term/forever relationship.
