  • A three-bedroom detached single-family house or an attached condominium or townhouse that is located in a stable neighbourhood within a 50-mile radius of your own home;
  • priced at less than the median price in your city and worth at least 10% more than your cost;
  • can be bought with less than 10% down and
  • terms that allow the buyer to rent out the home with no negative cash flow.

How to Find the Right House



  1. Area with large numbers of middle-class houses in the lowest-priced category.
  2. Property: three-bedroom house
  3. Price range: you should buy houses prices much less than the median-priced house in your area.
  4. Rent fee: Check the rent fee for two and three-bedroom apartment in the area. Your rent fee should be equal your mortgage fee with 10% down payment or up to 10% more.
