Makes running the numbers a lil more difficult 

Quote from @Isuf Aruci: i live in the NY area and would love to build a house or a mid apartment building. but the land search is very very difficult. also lets say i found the land, where would i get information and see if its buildable, also how do you calculate a land to see if its worth building or not.   

Those are difficult to come by so I’m keeping my powder dry and investing through my brokerage right now until something pops up.

Once you have a few candidates, ask about their experience with out-of-state clients, their knowledge of local rental markets, and any contractor or property management connections they might have.

I do a lot of business near the parks with STR and I know the HOA fees can make it really difficult to make the numbers work.

I'm open to anywhere in the GTA, it's been difficult finding a meetup group so I'm willing to travel to Brampton/Mississauga!

Not sure what suburbs you are referring to, but I have a lot of clients that are very successful investing in areas like McHenry, Woodstock, Elgin, Antioch, Mundelein, Belvedere, etc. 

Naturally your relinquished property must be sold before you can take title to the new property, but its a great way to make the process as smooth as possible.Even though the time frames can feel daunting I find that 95% of exchanges from my clients are successful.

We work with a lot of relocation clients and when I ask many of them say, they had no idea, but they visited a while ago and really liked it.. 450k is about the most you can spend on a duplex here.

Negative cash flow is difficult especially on more extensive tenant turn overs or when dealing with a PIA tenant.
