@Samuel Coronado - cash flow on new builds here right now is fairly non-existant without putting more than 20% down. 

My wife and I have jumped in and invested in two separate STR properties in the Blue Ridge area. 

Anyone based out of the Maritime provinces in Canada?

Thanks for the insights. 

I have a lot of good information on the KC multifamily market that I can send you. 

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Over the past quarter, I have seen around $1B in defaulted fix and flip loans - many of these from new lenders since 2020 and more of a "tech platform".As we all know, the intersection of tech and real estate investing has brought incredible innovation, especially in hard money lending.

@Dan Brewer as I'm sure you're well aware, people aren't in this because they don't understand it.

Looking to hear from investors, business owners, and anyone who’s navigated this process successfully!

However, chances of making a mistake or overlooking an opportunity to save are higher when it comes to rentals.The dilemma is whether it's worth paying a professional in this case.

I am wondering if anyone invests in this area can provide me with some referrals?
