I’m definitely working hard to create a solid foundation for both my family and my investments, and it’s encouraging to connect with like-minded people who are exploring real estate as well.You’re absolutely right about Section 8 housing, the stability of cash flow is definitely a big draw for me, especially with the U.S. market being more accessible in terms of affordability compared to Canada.

The drawback is you need to build trust and relationships upfront.Both have their place, but private money tends to offer more flexibility, while hard money is more structured and accessible if you lack personal connections.

I was drawn to the accessibility of their projects without needing to be a FUND, along with the extra benefits that come from their large-scale output.As an investor, my priorities are finding good deals, investing in landlord-friendly markets, and transitioning to new construction properties.

They can help you navigate code compliance, especially with accessibility and egress requirements, and provide a clear budget before you begin.

You could put most of your funds in the stock market and access them when needed for a HML.

When you can access the opportunities first, you can qualify the lead first, analyse and find the best deals first, reach out and build rapport first , offer your solution first (rather than having your offer thrown on a pile of others the individual has already been given) and so on.

Happy to connect and help out any way i can and would love access to any deals you have!

Areas like Logan Square, Lincoln Park, and Pilsen attract renters due to their trendy amenities and access to public transit.

Partnering with others can help you scale your business and access greater resources.

To get access to the maximum amount of equity, I would recommend Tower Credit Union.
