Aspiring investor, interested in multi-families, based in Toronto, ON
Hello!
I'm all in but I must admit the whole game does feel a little intimidating, anytime I think I like a property and I think of calling the realtor, I start having self-doubt (that maybe I'm missing something and I'll come off completely stupid).
I would like to ask the seasoned investors, how was your experience with your first deal? What problems did you face? And what were the things you thought would be very difficult but turned out to be straight-forward later on? And what were the things that you highly underestimated?
Also, what are the most important metrics you go through during the initial screening of a listing? (to decide whether you want to analyze the property further or not)
