Some do not ever want to own and I certainly understand their logic.  

I'm also okay with not cash flowing at the start since househacking seems like a way to just reduce living expenses rather than cash flow but my logic could be flawed there.My problem lies in the way I am going about learning my markets and all the intricacies of RE investing.

Glad to see that there are many target audience for MTR!

Hi Joneil , I also live in Toronto and this isn't true , I'm not really sure what your friend's logic was .

Following this logic, loan officers will often say things like "we can't do it and everyone else will say the same" or "that's impossible, nobody is doing that anymore."

If you got your dialog down and a decent understanding of your target audience 1000 per day should be enough.

Any thought on my logic here?

If Interest Rate < CAP then COC > CAP.By that logic, unless you're paying really high interest, your COC should be higher than 8.5 or your CAP should be less than 10...care to share how you're calculating these?

Seems logical to rent out my primary residence to eclipse viewers.But this is a one off event and won't happen again, so it wouldn't justify the yearly license fee for an STR.would like to gear drom experienced Austin STR folk on how to do this properly thanks

@Shawn McCartyI think you would need to see the neighborhood and what that area "commands" you to do...That is circular logic.
