Re-raiseCurrently I am seeing some 1% down products out there but they come with a lower debt to income threshold than an FHA loan.

If you can't sell it than an ARV doesn't matter.

Also, my real estate agent has worked long hours showing me properties, but she tends to think more like a retail buyer than an investor, especially when I talk about allowances like vacancy, M&R, PM, etc.

If you are a California resident, there is a more cost effective way to create a Holding Company than an LLC.

Personally I'm sticking to the GTAIf my deals are farther than an hour away it just becomes too difficult to manage, especially when you have a couple projects on the go It's expensive but i make the same money on one project in the GTA then some would make on 20 properties in a cheaper city.

This thread is getting exhausting!

Others are 1031ing their properties from more marginal neighborhoods to nicer ones ... this is more a wealth preservation strategy than an aggressive growth strategy.

I have literally worked to exhaustion researching, offering, negotiaiting, arranging inspectors, roofers, foundation people etc.Oh, remember, you also need to find a lender for a 5-10 million dollar property and feel confident he will do the loan, all prior to your identification date...

It was (is) exhausting learning the one I'm in.

If you are listed as an "Additional Insured" rather than an "Additional Interest" this may actually cause significant problems in the event of a loss.
