Hello
I have signed a purchase and sale agreement with a custom home builder in northern Ontario in 2020 April.
The home is ready and we are ready to close by June 2021. builder mentioned ,he usually claims the HST and that is reason why the property price is low . I as a buyer do not have to or cannot claim HST .
Questions :
1. As this is an investment property, can I rent the unit for next one year and sell after ?
2. If I were to rent, can I claim the new rental rebate program ?
3. Would there be any issues if I were to rent the unit to tenants ?
Please advise
