So, if it were me, I would refinance to get my cash and roll that into additional properties of whatever type and availability met my fundamentals.

The biggest being borrowing from Canadian lenders - with no Canadian income, residency or credit history you may find yourself limited in the size of mortgage you can place (perhaps no more than 50% LTV).Your easiest approach may be to find a Canadian partner and work with them to acquire properties.Overall, the fundamentals of investing in real estate are the same, details will differ - particularly in areas of finance, regulation and taxation.  

I've noticed a real uptick in complaints about this lately, but that's purely anecdotal.PPCPPC, or pay-per-click online advertising, is the newer kid on the block, although it's been growing quite a bit due to some prominent adopters (notably Sean Terry, the guys at We Buy Houses, etc).PPC has two fundamental strengths: speed and objectivity.PPC is one of the fastest marketing channels there is, and it's raw speed allows you to launch into entirely new markets in around ten minutes or so.

This relationship might not be salvageable since the fundamentals have been broken but many other great options out there.

It will be an additional expense but fundamentally BRRRR should still work the same way.I'm fairly new to all this but am currently looking at using the BRRRR method for my first investment property. 

Just that alone will require you to learn numbers, understand market fundamentals, know what you are looking for when you shop for properties, etc.

We are still buying now and just making sure the cashflow is right and the fundamentals are right.  

Basic personal financial fundamentals always matter, even though I am a big fan of balancing that out with aggressive growth, sometimes one does have to stop, pause, reflect and be patient.  

To effectively ramp up and learn as a real estate investor, which of the options do you think is best and why for someone starting out:1. learning through professional coaching where multiple calls are setup with an expert2. learning through becoming a money partner in a JV partnership with an expert that is active in the partnership3. not considering coaching nor JV by learning through solo action as an individual Some examples of effective learning to me are:- understanding a particular market and its fundamentals- learning how to force appreciation through rehab and renovation which includes interfacing with general contractors and understanding city requirements for say a duplex conversion- finding off-market deals without spending too much money- placing offers on deals with the aim to close

@David S.You have identified the fundamental tradeoff.
