You can lend your RRSP funds as first/second mortgages to other individuals. Try to read THE RRSP SECRET book from Greg Habstritt.

Stay away from these cases where the person wants to do an RTO but in fact they need a refinance. There are people who specialize on these cases so ask her to contact a mortgage broker. Unless of course you want to help your friend and if you do, note that this would not be an money investment...

If you own the business that in turn own its assets, I do not see why you would need a license to manage own assets. I am not in Alberta so I would call the city directly.

I am not sure but I would check if you have an exception as you manage own assets. In order to manage properties for other people in Alberta, I think you require a license. I would call the city to get a clarification on this.

I would try it for a high end housing but not for student rental.

Use your own cash to close on the property and then bring a JV later if required.

Move-in/out inspections are a must to document conditions and actually set the tone. However, as part of your business, you should budget repairs such paint, drywall, carpets (if any), cleaning, etc. and factor them into your cost and rent. If damages are more than normal wear/tear then advice...

If your JV does not want to be on mortgage/title then you can always bring him after you close on the property. This is no difference than having a property already in place and you bring a JV later (or replace a JV).

Just this morning another REIN member remind me about a really good book that I would recommend that you take a look. The is "The RRSP Secret" from Greg Habstritt

The broker is not required to be on a specific location. It would be more of the type of property (residential/commercial). For residential, I recommend the ones on my team (I am not a broker) http://www.rent2own.ottawagatineaurentals.com/Rent2own/Team Commercial: Try Chad Robinson who is...

If you are planning to invest, contact a realtor who is also an investor.

I would recommend to get a purpose build duplex/triplex instead of having a house with a basement unit. Properties that have basement suites/nanny suites are the most challenging properties to manage as you have to deal with noise, share utilities, shared laundry, shared parking, etc. I find...

The lawyer will ask seller to...

I would say that it might be the market right now or marketing not inline with tenant profile. I checked your ad on kijiji and unit show really nice and clean. You might also check around as other might be way too low or not doing credit checks making more easy to get someone approved. Also try...
