Canadian couple looking to buy across the border

[Matt M.]

Hey Everyone!

We're a Canadian couple in our thirties looking to buy rental properties in the Port Huron/Metro Detroit area (we live just across the river in Sarnia). We've house-hacked previously and rent out one of our homes in Canada; however, we find the nearby Michigan market to be a lot more BRRRR friendly and would like to purchase at least 10 cash flowing properties there in the next five years.

In the past few months we’ve totally immersed ourselves in real estate investment education: podcasts during our commutes, articles on breaks, discussions at dinner, books during the evenings, and falling asleep to HGTV home reno shows. Seems like all we do is eat, sleep, breathe, and think about real estate.

Only thing stopping us from building an empire (lol) is the anxiety of starting a new strategy, in a new area (and a different country at that), but I’m confident that once we take the plunge, we’ll make it work!

Looking forward to networking, learning, and sharing our experiences.

Matt and Sasha
