This is my first time on these forums and in a short period of time realized the vast depth of knowledge amongst this network. I had a few questions regarding my situation and would greatly appreciate any advice or guidence.
I currently own two single family homes as rental properties (Kitchener/Waterloo) with my Dad. We will buy another property once we have 20% down payment. At this point we will continue to follow this slow and steady model. However, we may have access to capital from some outside investors in the near futures, maybe $200,000-$400,000. So here are the questions.
From anyones experience what is the best structure?
Do we form a corp and issue preferred shares?
Do we create an LP?
If we have investors that essential lend us money, will the bank view this as debt, or can we take $300,000 from outside investors and use it as a 20-25% down payment on $1,500,000 property?
Are we better buying several single family homes if the ROI is good or should we be buying larger multi-family units with higher cap rates?
Thanks,
Chad
