@Beatrice Ontiti we most certainly agree that adding new construction in a growth market to your portfolio would be a great next step! 

@Chris Seveney Hi chris, this is in the San Antonio market 

Hey Paul, I've done a few of these with buyers moving money from California to the Detroit market. 

Be careful when you select entity types.A pass-through entity in the United States, such as an LLC, may not hold the same characteristics in Canada.What market are you looking to invest in?

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

A few other houses (all single family houses) on the same street are on the market for rental and they (including my house) all get grouped and nestled under one cover listing as “units” of an apartment complex.

In high barrier markets, rents have gotten stronger but not the double digit growth we had seen, which was an anomaly.  

If you can get in before a property hits the market, you can often negotiate a great win-win deal for everyone. 

You can also do value add STR & Multi-Family Rentals by starting with distressed properties and using a bridge loan to acquire them with a lower down payment compared to a DSCR loan.Networking – Connect with local investors, wholesalers, and realtors in your target markets.

What was your process to lock in on that market?
