@Navroze Pirza  We invest primarily in NBLandlord friendly (for keeping pace with market rents) are: AB NB NL NS QC SKON, BC, PEI, MB all restrict how much a landlord can increase rents

For your scenario (if it was me) I love the idea of taking your time to find an outdated single-family that you can live in and fix it at your pace, which would allow you to be near your family and not deal with more tenants and higher risk factors.

The main worry that I have is that Dallas and Austin have just grown at such a rapid pace in the last decade. 

I expect to use the income from flips to grow my landlord portfolio but I realize I am about to generate taxes at a new and frightening pace and want to make sure I minimize the liability as much as legally possible by being set up correctly and using the right accounting software that will allow me to track multiple flips at the same time and account for rental income.

Similar suit in NY now too thank goodness some groups are standing up to this if they have the resources to do so.https://therealdeal.com/2020/0...Patrick M i'm worried about the same considering Murphy just announced even outdoor dining is 2 weeks away....full opening could be months away at this pace which means evictions prob not starting till September / October timeframe. 

That’s why I’m a strong advocate of value-add deals, because I’ve seen rent increases thanks to property improvements.Rent growth is currently positive and still possible with Class A properties, but the slowing market pace will translate to lower organic growth, resulting in even lower returns for Class A buildings.

You will understand, what price ranges work for you, how much rent you would need to cover your cost, what downpay size is ideal to have the most leverage, you understand how many houses you can buy per year with your income and can project it to the future and find the ideal size and pace you want to move forward, and so much more.

How are you mitigating any prior expectations about increasing rents at end of lease (keeping pace with expenses) vs tenant retention at this time?

Economy shrank at an unprecedented 32% annualized rate in the second quarter - the fastest pace on record and comparable only to events such as the demobilization following World War II in its severity.But, single family residential prices are still going up.

Apparently, the torrid pace of employment growth in late spring gave way in July to a sharp slowdown in hiring, underscoring the fragile nature of our recovery with the coronavirus still running rampant in many states.
