@Shawn Smith we've got several clients from Toronto and also Vancouver.So, we've got referrals for experienced tax attorneys, CPA's, etc. for Canadians and foreigner investors in general.What are you purchase criteria?

One friend of mine had a client who recently tried running an Airbnb in a little Craftsman duplex near North Park.

Still strong but lots of competition, so you need to research what works: good pics, seasonal pricing, amenities, etc.

Look for properties with low taxes, separate utilities, strong demand, and potential for rent increases.

Looking for guidance on options. new builds aren't hard to finance and I would argue they are preferred to existing fix and flip loans, especially if you have experience. banks look at your experience, your builder's experience, loan structure, permits, etc you need to get an experienced builder familiar with advanced underwriting and negotiations with local, regional, and national lenders. in columbus we do ground up construction for clients at a 20% discount so they can BRRRR out of the new build with equity and we have pages and pages of data on what we build and why and it's all supported by market statistics. 

I have tons of clients doing this with multiple homes now.

There is still strong demand for Austin housing with pending sales in the metro up 16% compared to last year (and up nearly 30% in Austin).

Consult a tax advisor to optimize the use of passive losses and explore potential benefits from selling stocks.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

It'd be great if he could be the one to work directly with all of his investor clients but I guess that's what his investment strategists are for.

Out of curiosity, are you currently focusing more on expanding your short-term rental portfolio or on working with clients to grow theirs?
