I have saved up some money but my goal is to save up at least 20k in a year before I start looking for options on house hacking in a duplex.

What are your next deal options?

Quote from @Micheal Smoke: Hi, my name is Mike Smoke, and I'm an aspiring real estate investor focusing on multifamily and Section 8 properties in the U.S. as the barrier to entry is much much lower in terms of price compared to Canada and Funding options. 

As you get to this point your gaining more confidence in the options because you know option A and B had a certain outcome that wasn't option C, and this would give you more confidence you're doing the right thing for you.From there, I would be identifying properties to acquire if you don't already have some in mind and then my next sheet is creating the plan.

I really like Lease to own option to get into deals without having to take on massive debt.

Bear in mind that the fiscal treatment of the two options in Mexico is different (withholding tax on the gross income with the fideicomiso vs cost deductions with the corporation).

It's great to see the inventory is coming back there are a lot of options out there and I'm feeling excited!

I am on the lending side of things so feel free to reach out if you ever want to talk shop and finance options that are out there. 

What was the quality like compared to local options?

Hey all,I’ve been diving into options for software to help streamline real estate rehab and construction project management.
