You can take your time improving the building&#8217;s value. Long-term, it could be part of your retirement portfolio. You can remortgage and withdraw equity to reuse for other real estate investments. When you withdraw equity, you won\u2019t be penalized on your income tax until you sell. There are long-term tax benefits as well. You can have business deductions and write off your mortgage interest. Consult with your accountant.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Buy, renovate, and rent out<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There is great potential here because you add equity rather than paying top dollar for something that is already fully renovated. Once you\u2019ve added value to the property, you can remortgage, take out the equity, and purchase another property. Keep in mind that if you\u2019re working with a single house or apartment, you run the risk of having only one rent covering all your expenses in comparison to a duplex or triplex.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Buy a multi-door building <\/strong><strong>and turn the basement into an apartment<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This strategy adds immediate value because you improve the building\u2019s equity and cash flow.
