You should consider calling and talking to the Execs in the various states you are considering as well as some of the brokers like Joanne Stevens who will take time to help newbies.Your own strengths and weaknesses will play a role in what and where you should be buying as will your current and future goals.

The best deals go quickly and fast, and you want a lender who will add to the strength of your offer, not detract from it. 

They are all investor friendly and have all their strengths and weaknesses.

@Ginny NelsonAs someone who has been doing business in both Canada and the U.S.A. for almost 30-years, I see them as different with each having their strengths and weaknesses. 

What I do not know is the strength of the longevity, issues that face them and any legal ramifications this younger agent might be missing.

So, as long as you have enough financial strength jointly as partners, you should be OK.

To me that just isn't worth it financially, I think there are many other jobs you can do to get a decent salary and simultaneously invest in RE or other businesses, which will put you miles ahead of most doctors.It really comes down to where your interests/strengths are, what you prioritize, and your true internal motivation. 

@Atwan Kwan I understand about advising the client to take action against his wishes.I question the thinking on the process.I settle out of court all the time, but never miss a filing.I can be in front of the judge and if I have permission from my client to accept payment, I will do so (in certified funds, full balance) and let the judge know right then my client has decided to dismiss.BUT WITHOUT A POSITION OF STRENGTH, you can be played by a tenant who has no intent to pay and who only wants to delay the eviction until they've stayed rent free for the last few months. you stated the tenant DECIDED not to pay (obviously thinks he won't get his deposit back, or has no deposit saved for the next place).Unless your client is aware of that possibility and you protect him against it, you're missing the point.Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

Depending on the strength and experience of that borrowing entity you could also seek additional collateral and security through crossing other property owned or filing a UCC over the company.

This is where I think it would be beneficial to start a plan of achieving acquisitional strength, but a plan that has the wisdom of hindsight guiding it.
