Make sure to set-up your keyword alerts in your settings here on BP so you can be notified of topics/connections you'd like to follow.I'd also recommending joining your local investor groups on Facebook - easier to connect with local players and get boots-on-the-ground type referrals.Best of luck to you!!

The Self-Sufficiency test makes it pretty much impossible to get a desirable property with less than 10% down.Single Family REITS have also greatly outperformed multifamily in the last years and now institutional players are getting involved.

@Suzanne Player I’ve had good experiences with Cinch Home Warranty here in NC.

Keep in mind Cmhc polls the larger players, REITS mainly.

We’ve also experienced a worldwide pandemic in case any of you weren’t aware… The results of all of this has left me with some debt, and less than stellar credit which I am working hard to repair as I get back to work again, finally. 

I do not do tax liens but have looked at them in the past and have found that to buy in major areas you have to be a major player to get anything worth value - and typically you have to get very lucky as the funds come in and buy the tax liens for very low returns because their cost of capital is so low. 

So if this does pass and the bigger wall street players continue to acquire these properties and complaints come out about inequalities they have no one to blame but themselves.

I could go work for the bigger players (CBRE, JLL, Walker Dunlop, NKF, etc.), but my family cannot relocate to a big city.I know the business with regards to structuring the capital stack, how investors/developers look at deals, how lenders look at deals, and I can underwrite CRE investments.

Zillow is the main player in the game where I live.
