I have several rent to own refinanced properties coming to term this year and need an experienced mortgage broker to help me and the tenant-buyers stickhandle through the CMHC process. Properties are located in Ottawa, Barrie and SW Ontario. Please message me

I completely agree with Sherilynn. I have invested in a few RTO "turnkey" type deals with the aforementioned HOS. Some have worked well, others have not. If you're an experienced investor, then you likely have the skills and team to handle problems along the way, but unless there is some kind...

The only thing I can save in my signature is my name. Nothing else, no email or website or anything like that. I keep getting the error message about max number of characters being 75. Any suggestions? thanks David www.hootinvest.com
