Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing great.

I'm planing to buy my first rental property, started to looking at Duplex's in Windsor, ON I see that only OLD Duplex's are at reasonable prices(100,000 - 150,000) where as Newer ones are costing more then 200,000.

For Older one worried about the Expensive Major Issue due to age. on Newer one I don't see any CASH FLOW. can someone please suggest me what would be the way to kick start my REI journey

Thanks

Aditya

2 more questions please. What would be the lowest down payment I have to pay, if I want to go with 2-4 units MF House??

in you experience which is the best financial institute in Canada who's interest rate is less??

Once again thank you very much @ROY N

If you meet the conditions for a high-ratio, insured mortgage on an owner-occupied, residential property, the minimum downpayment required is:

5% on a SFR or duplex; or

10% on a triplex or quadriplex.

There is no best {conventional} lender in Canada - they all have strengths and weaknesses and are constantly shifting position w/r to being investor friendly. A few years ago TD was wonderful - low rates and fairly painless approvals, now they have tightened up their lending a little (particularly for those with 6+ properties).

While the interest rate is important, there is more to financing than just the rate. What are the pre-payment / payout terms? Does the lender allow seconds? ... etc.

Our last residential mortgage was placed earlier this year, in exchange for a 5-year term, variable rate note at 2.2%. Just prior to that we placed another in exchange for a 1-yr fixed-rate note, at 2.34%, with a different lender - we normally do not used fixed-rate financing, but I made a commitment to use this lender during the deal (they were also the vendor) and their variable rate offerings were sadly inferior.

Thank you @Roy N. looking forward to learn from your experience more and more.

5+ unit commercial: Depends on the lender and the deal. This is complicated. If you want to get into larger residential, grab onto the coattails of someone who is already doing it. Bring them their morning coffee. Offer to take pictures of properties and sweep their hallways if that's what it takes to get them to talk to you about it.

General newbie advice:

1. Save a LOT of money.

2. Figure out how to do a deal where you end up with all of your money back out (ie, BRRR strategy).

A good chunk of cash can buy houses forever. No cash can't buy anything.

Oh yeah, and you recently missed Windsor liquidating tax-sale houses. That was about 3 months ago. So keep learning and keep an eye on the Ontario Gazzette for Windsor's next tax sale. By the way - don't wait for the sale. Contact the owners and help them get their back taxes paid in exchange for a deal.

Oh, and forget everything until you've spent at least 20 hours studying the RTA and LTB.

Thank you @Matt Geerts. Lesson for the day RTA & LTB
