I know what worked for me and now I can talk to sellers of a 5 Million dollar building no problem. it took me time to get there, not extra pressure and failure loops because I was not the ultimate sales person day 1. it took layering of confidence to get there- use introversion as an advantage. when you connect with someone you will come across as very authentic (which we are) and you will make a real relationship. what we introverts have to bridge is the numbers game, which is important. you must talk to more people to get better at it and then the magic happensgood luck

The best route I've found is closing cash on enough properties that I can group 4+ units, then getting a blanket/portfolio loan across each asset; you get the best terms.Closing with U.S. financing as a Canadian can be quite the financial gymnastics since you will be required to have your signatures notarized by U.S. notaries; thus, you either have to travel down to The U.S. each time to sign or spend $1,500+ to have the U.S. consulate in Canada authentic the signatures (which cost me a small fortune during COVID), OR, if you have the option of designating a power attorney who is a U.S. resident to sign on your behalf.

Fantastic site, very authentic insight.

I recommend getting it ASAP though, because it also adds an element of authenticity to your presentation when you are making deals.  

If you do not have that, then networking at a local REIA meeting with the right people and to steal a line from Nike--"Just do It" is a cheap way to get started.

(Not really sure of the authenticity of that, but I know once all the debt is gone it will make my score jump.) as far as the length of the credit history, I don't think there is anything I can do but wait. 

BUT, 17 years in DM, we've helped make the mailing an "authentic - relationship building product." -  AND, it works...  

I would verify with the notary that it was authentic prior.

I am just here to meet authentic, driven, talented individuals who love what they do, love to share, and care about people. 

Does it look authentic and real?
