Are you building for pure investment purposes or are you looking to use some of the space for personal/personal business use?

.: I’m looking at a property that checks all the boxes—good numbers and fits my buy box—but I haven’t seen it in person.

Just be mindful that you can't 1031 a personal residence but it might be eligible for capital gain exclusion from section 121.

Also, long term, I expect Sac will enact tougher restrictions on STR, given the intense housing crunch we're experience, so I personally don't expect that to a be a good long term strategy.

Keep in mind that DSCR loans are how most investors have scaled. whether its residential DSCR or commercial DSCR at 5+ units. personally, i like them better. few reasons why:1. seasoning period is only like 10-30 days vs 60days going conventional2. seller max contributions DSCR is 3-6% where conventional its only 2% max3.

Attend in person networking events in your area (there are many in and around Vancouver). 

This is the fork where I'm not sure if I'd be good to get some CRE exp and invest in learning about how to review deals for the next 2-3 years, or focus on generating revenue for investment purposes and watch how things are done as a LP.My personality more aligns with networking, reaching out to people, connecting, navigating difficult situations and finding solutions that work.

Do you own these properties in your personal name or through an LLC?

These are usually from personal connections we have made through the years and the investors usually want proof of experience to participate in any deals.Can you recommend any lenders in particular for SBLOC product?

There's a common belief that your tax person should also be an investor themselves.
