Does Zillow operate in Canada? I use Zillow to see recently sold properties.


 Unfortunately, no it does not.

Quote from @Melanie Dupuis:

@Babatunde Akinpelu We live and invest in North Bay ON. Your best bet is to find an investor-focused realtor in that area that has access to Geowarehouse.


 Thanks Melanie. I just sent you a DM

Quote from @Mackenzie Dobson:

I would definitely recommend connecting with a local Northern Ontario Realtor to best help you and give you the local 'edge'. If you are still looking to connect with a local realtor, let me know if you have decided on a specific area and I can recommend a name or two (depending on the area, Timmins I can recommend a few!).


 Thank Mackenzie. Just sent you a DM

Quote from @Dwayne Poster:

In this market, it's deal by deal. You need a Realtor to feed you real time MLS data. Anything else is historical.


 Thanks Dwayne, are you investing in those areas? Would appreciate referrals for realtors

Hi BP community,


I'm looking to purchase my first rental property in Northern Ontario cities like north bay, sudbury etc

I'm trying to get a better understanding of what properties are being sold for in those areas. I have an idea from the list price, however as we've seen in places like Toronto, houses are being listed under value and often being sold over asking price. So to get a better knowledge of how much to budget, I'm looking to gather information on what properties are being sold for compared to the listing price. I typically use zolo for this, but I've found that while it works great for the bigger cities like Toronto, Waterloo etc, it doesn't have as much information on cities such as North Bay. What tools do you use to gather this information?

@Scott M.I don't believe that comment was meant for this thread? 

(Although, this is also not getting a lot of traction) lol

Hello BP members! I'm a Canadian looking to invest in a rental property in Indianapolis. I have a childhood friend who is an American citizen and has agreed to be my partner. I will be providing the funds and the mortgage will be under his name. Has anyone done a similar partnership? Any general tips on what I should be aware of for a deal like this would be greatly appreciated.
