Study the market.

@Manny Del ValGreat markets!

Coffered ceilings, low corner additions etc.Anyone can slap lipstick on a pig, looking for high value add in high demand markets is where the $ is.

Study the market.

If we are losing money every year, but do plan on holding on to it long term, with our goal being appreciation of the market and someone else paying a good chunk of our mortgage, is this worth doing on any level? 

Have you looked into the markets you want to be in?

I'm not sure if this forum is still active, but I'm looking to chat with a few real estate investors in Ontario who may be interested in raising funds by selling fractional shares of their property.My co-founder and I are doing some market research so we need to talk to some folks to gather more insights before building this out.If this interests you or someone you know, please reach out.

I’d encourage you to think outside the box when sourcing off-market properties rather than simply replicating someone else’s strategy—what works for them may not necessarily work for you.Additionally, connecting with real buyers who can close on deals is crucial.

Hi David, you need a discounted propety, have you tried hyper focusing on off-market properties in your desired area.  

Bought undervalued (market value of 265k); refinanced about 1 year later to contribute to next property purchase.
