It's a numbers game for certain so the more you see the quicker you'll be able to identify a good deal.

Immigration plays a big role in this, so it would be hard to predict unless you know what happens with population growth.I think it's still a basic human need, and one that the government can not provide at a reasonable cost.

As much as investors tend to complain about realtors, I'd strongly suggest that YOU need one since you sound very new to the game.

@Catherine Curtsinger To play a little devil’s advocate I have been house hacking for 30 years.

As @Max Yuan stated, this is a numbers game.

Names Christian, I’ve, been doing real estate investing for bout a year now, worked on my first property which wasn’t the best ideal situation, but it was an amazing learning experienced that I wouldn’t trade, made a lot of mistakes that after all the classes and events i have attended i am learning where i went wrong, and really in need of a coach to help guide me in the right direction, i do have a game plan in place and the goal i want to reach  just need to be helped its a path.

Quote from @Sebastian Bennett: It's funny because I actually had a dream of setting these up and seeing how this would play out lol

This way the investor has a quality property where all the payment is going to the mortgage so equity builds up fast and they can take the re-advanced funds and WAIT for the right opportunity for extra yield plays. 

Their goals and upcoming upcoming purchases may come into play. 

With that being said I have found an opportunity to get back in the game.
