@Meghan Carson i'm considering long term rentals and am not opposed to turnkey.

Strategy 1: buy a duplex, live in one unit (for one year as a "primary residence) and rent out another unit as a short-term / mid-term rental on Airbnb.

Mashvisor – Helps compare long-term vs. short-term rental potential, especially useful if you’re weighing both options. 4.

Keeping the Vancouver property could provide strong rental income, long-term appreciation, and diversification, but it also comes with tax implications, foreign ownership rules, and management challenges.

In terms of using BP - I highly recommend setting up some "keywords" in your settings so that you can get alerted to discussions that talk about "CPA" "Bookkeeper" or "Bookkeeping" and related terms!

What if they change the terms on you last minute?

The result is typically less loan proceeds, lower rate, worse terms, etc.

Are you familiar with Creative Financing such as Subject To (SubTo), SubTail, WRAPS, Short Term Lending, and Bridge loans? 

I do have some investment experience and I'm currently managing 1 property, all the numbers are great and there's a good amount of cash flow and long term growth so I'm not a total green horn. 

Everything comes with a risk but I want to hear everyone's opinions for both states in the long run, thanks in advance It really depends on your style and goals and type of investing.I invest in multiple states and there can be some substantial differences.First decide if you want to do Flips, Long Term Rentals, Short Term Rentals, Shared Housing, Multi Family, Land, Tax Deeds, REITs, Syndication, Commercial and then decide.
