I will use real estate investing as a vehicle to free me from my "9-5 job" in order to spend with my family and live a purposeful life.I am mainly interested in buy-and-holds, but I'll keep my mind open for now as I am just getting started.My fiancé and I may very likely be moving to Germany within the next 1-2 years.

One thing to keep in mind though is that if you do win the bidding and put down your own 20% and then try to finance the balance afterward and it doesn't go through, you'll have to hit up a private lender (if you can find one), or file a Motion to Dismiss with the court to try and get out of the deal (and get back your 20%).

If the numbers work then never mind the roaches.

Keep in mind that a low maintenance and repairs number can be a sign of deferred maintenance that you're going to have to pay for when you're the new owner!

Keep in mind that a 2nd home loan is only for a 1-unit property.

Mind if I send you a PM as well?

I run a real estate, mortgage, and insurance brokerage in LA and am always looking to connect with other investment minded individuals.

Also looking to get into a great REIA within the area to help with networking and finding like-minded people.It's a pleasure to meet everyone!

Often times, families use this wealth to allow their children to seek better opportunities internationally in places like Canada.I've attached a link below to an article outlining the University of Windsor's plan to attract even more students from India; keep in mind, they are already a huge part of our university population.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/uwindsor-fi...I think we will slowly see rents rise in core university rental areas as demand continues to outstrip supply

@Kyle Pockat one other thing that just came to mind is, maybe ask a wholesaler or flipper you know to partner with you on a deal.
