I a new investor  who self-manages my property and need some advice.Currently, when there are plumbing issues, I have a plumbing company come to the house and I have to meet them there.

My favorite ones (as a Contractor) are those like : "How much will it cost to re-wire my entire house?"....."...

Can't get housing?

How much will you spend in repairs on a 1920's house with renters ? 

I recently came across a property through an agent with attractive numbers for a house flip.

Applying that to RE investing, most would agree your first FHA loan should be a multi-unit house hack.

We are not familiar with any of these markets, nor do we have anyone trustworthy there, or a real estate agent.Our approach would be both rental and house flipping.

While I own a house in Canada, which has been my only investment so far, I am eager to diversify my portfolio and begin investing in real estate in the USA.

I have done some deals that barely have a little positive cash flow in neighborhoods that I know very well and know that the house should appreciate well and that I will have no problem always finding great tenants.Hope all this helps.

They'll want all the money spent on the main house, lenders kind of ignore ADUs it's weird.
