The fact that you’re leveraging your background in property management and deal analysis is huge, especially in a city where margins can be tight, but the upside is massive. 

And we bring the side fence to the front of the house so the sides are not exposed to the street all the other builders go cheap and put the fence to the back of the house and save the side yard fence run..

Part of this is regulations in my city, but after having done it this way, I wouldn't ever want to do it with a single family home.

SB9 was state-wide, so it's up to cities to implement.

The two countries may seem similar, but they are so different and I say that with my sister's family (who are American) sitting in the same room as me right now.For housing, I can't think of many Canadian cities where you can buy a house under $100K (or even $200K).

I plan to start my investing journey with an owner occupied multi-family in Albany or the surrounding cities.

Quote from @Sofia De Santos Tavarez: Hello, my husband and I are looking to do our first rehab in a different city than where we live (we live in Austin and looking to buy in El Paso), and are wondering how one determines and writes a scope of work and determine what material to buy for what.

For STR, AirDNA is the most popular option of course, but the pricing model per city is rough (if it's still like that).

I've been hearing a lot of people re-fi'ing 3 mos after purchase.....at Brew City REI Club's last event, a lender said he could re-fi off appraised the day after purchase but you'd have to show that you did repairs. 

My husband and I were very lucky, as price in our city were beginning to rise.
