Does anybody have any advice, positive/negative feedback or any sort of info for me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Peter
Hey Peter
I personally do Buy and Hold investments.
RTO is a great strategy but more short term 2-3 years. It's better know as the cash flow accelerator, good way to build some bigger cash reserves before getting into Buy and Hold. Mark Loeffler is a part of my brokerage and actually has written books on the subject, if you would like I can refer you to someone on his team and you can discuss your options further. Based out of Hamilton and Burlington so nice and close to home for you.

Great Story sounds like you have learned a lot!
There is a BP meetup group in London ask @Jeff Wybo for some information I believe they meet this week.

I would contact several different teams in different markets, US and Canada.
Compare your returns in the different markets, take into consideration the appreciation, cash flow and tax incentives.
I know some U.S markets have substantial cash flow, but I do not invest there and can not comment on the tax liabilities bring that money back to Canada.
I know in my market(KWC) and Hamilton you can easily achieve 25-30% ROI with paydown, appreciation and cash flow combined.

Possible but difficult, we have roughly 1/10th the population and a much more conservative banking industry. It wouldn't make sense to look for deals here if you don't live here.

I grew up in that area, I would say in that price point your best opportunities for flips close to home would be out toward the Shelburne area, Grand Valley or Arthur. You can flip anywhere in Ontario as long as you know the price points and can properly asses repair costs. Although I would recommend to start looking in those areas as it's reasonable to buy a house there with 30k down for a flip.
If you would like a referral I know a great Realtor in the Shelburne, Orangeville area and also another in Arthur.

Hey @Sherl Bloom
Have you considered a RTO program? This will give you ample opportunity to repair your credit while still getting ahead.
I would warn against bruised credit mortgages as they are usually not as good as advertised.

Include it in a new lease when you find new tenants. Otherwise offer a lump sum for them to transfer the utilities
