@Leslie L Meneus you are trying to find a tribe of super freaks.Let me explain…Only 6% of Americans own one or more rental property.  

Congratulations to you for setting yourself a goal and having a plan in place to execute it. 

After reading Brandon and Brian's book, The Multifamily Millionaire, Volume II: Create Generational Wealth by Investing in Large Multifamily Real Estate, I'm a bit puzzled as to if the GP's must have real estate experience, or if someone can connect enough professionals/companies on their team to execute successful investments.

I would read up on "Squatters Rights" laws and how long a typical eviction takes to execute.

Ensure lease executed ends April 30 to May 15 for the same reason.

Major employers like JP Morgan and AT&T are pushing for these policies as well, and specifically in the D.C. region, Amazon HQ2, the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority, and the Executive Branch of the government have required all employees to return to work 5 days a week at those locations.Fundamental Lack of Residential SupplyAnother interesting driver of demand is the fundamental lack of supply of housing stock due to the fallout effects of the 2008 housing crisis, slowdowns in housing construction during Covid-19 primarily in 2020, and a good amount of 2021 from supply chain issues, labor shortages, and rising construction costs.

BiggerPockets website is good for the American market (mostly) but you will also find lots of Canadians on here and some good info on the Canadian market just by searching.There are worthwhile local West Coast resources for learning real estate investing in general and the Canadian and Vancouver markets in particular.

Budgeting for furniture and coordinating the time to execute or hire a designer is something we try and factor into our Pro Forma or analysis.

I would be less concerned about the cheapest money and more concerned about decent terms and execution.

However, I don’t have a US-based W2 (but work full time for an American tech company in their London office).
