Renovation loans can be a fantastic tool when you're ready to explore your options.

Whether it’s sharing ideas, insights, or exploring opportunities, I’m all about building relationships with like-minded investors.Looking forward to contributing and learning from this incredible community.Best,James That’s impressive what you’re doing.

I’m currently exploring real estate investment opportunities in Canada as an international investor.

It sounds like you’ve been doing some serious groundwork with all the reading and research, which is such a strong start to your journey toward FI and retiring by 55.It’s awesome that you’re exploring real estate as an option, even if you’re not completely sold on being a landlord yet.

Consider exploring strategies like house-hacking or BRRRR, and connect with a mentor or local meetups.

I'm exploring a few mentoring programs out there.

Are you exploring a conventional loan or a loan specifically designed for rentals?

But on this specific guy, I jumped on a call to explore the program and it was a high pressure sales call, it did not feel organic, not trustworthy and certainly did not feel the right fit.Why would someone spend 10k on a so niched-down space of real estate when they can get someone for the same amount to teach him/her everything?  

Crowdfunding platforms tailored to hospitality investments might be another avenue to explore.

During my time away, I’ve explored different brokerages to hang my license, and I’m proud to share that I’ve now opened my own firm here in the Bay Area!
