I HIGHLY recommend you connect with a local expert like @Josh Green, who practices what he preaches.

Green is correct. 

But I'll cross that bridge when I get there, neither property seems like it will be ready to sell any time soon.

I will physically scan other properties similar to mine ( 2 bed/1bath) and I will compare my pricing to someone else for cross comparison. 

Lenders will likely require documentation such as bank statements, tax returns, and proof of income.Consider Cross-Border Financing Options: Explore cross-border financing options that allow you to leverage your Canadian assets to secure financing for US properties.

Nonetheless, if you're serious and looking to work with an investor that is experienced, owns properties, and is also a realtor, reach out to @Josh Green. 

A good friend of mine @Josh Green that is an investor/investor focused realtor is having great success in the Tampa Bay area.

Hello, I am a fan of David Greene , especially his books on BRRRR and Long distance real estate investing.

You need to create your own buy right criteria and stick to them, and when a deal crosses your desk that makes sense, you'l spot it right away.We've walked away from dozens of deals.

David Greene that is the main guy here in BP would buy alot of my wholesale deals for his BRRR method.
