@Alexandria Garreau   if this is actually a property in Ontario I think you have rent control there correct?   

They are pushing rent control, some of the laws that the cities and state are pushing through are down right Anti Landlord.This is turn is creating a lot of people that are just hungry to get in to the game, they see these properties hit the market but have no idea about the laws that they will come across. 

Overall real estate syndicates is not for everyone because you have to realise that you may have very limited control over investment, fees and expenses the syndicate, potential for conflicts of among members.

Property management is in-house and owned/controlled by us. 3rd party contractors for rehabs and considering building in-house maintenance team for property management.Do you offer rental or maintenance guarantees?

Fifth, elements outside your planning or control can increase expenses significantly; tax increases due to budgetary shortfalls, insurance costs doubling due to natural disasters, tenant damage beyond what the security deposit will cover.  

RepeatYou can't do this with residential real estate, because value (and equity) hinges on market comps you have no control over.

If you can house hack in your local area, or even buy within driving distance (e.g. 2 hours) where you can check on your property you have better control instead of buying in an unknown area far away even if the numbers look good on paper. 

.$75K to control a solid asset in a market that will be in demand forever.

Also, it's out of your control at this point. 

I currently work as a Project Controller managing budgets for the company I am employed by but excited to use my savings to pursue real estate in whatever capacity I can.
