Don't forget to look at the rental comps as well, closed and available to see what your 'competition' is up to.I always go for a mixture of tough/durable and nice fixtures in my BRRRRs.

You as a buyer, need to be willing to be competitive in a competitive market, and that is where a great agent will shine.  

During Covid, many of my CAD counter-parts who had portfolios in the US had a very hard time due to lack of communication.

Personally, I think the taxes are high and the services you get for your taxes low there.I know people that invest in Detroit but you must know the area down to the street and have excellent property management.However, I just talked to my CPA today about a referral he was sending me who is a client of his that has 30 rental properties in Detroit and selling them all because the City doesn't really help, charges for everything, and they never have given a security deposit back to a tenant after they stayed because of their behavior or lack of payment.

If you're planning to invest less than $400-500k USD, the properties you could find within that budget will not stand out in the market, and you'll face high competition in the STR (Short-Term Rental) market.

To address this, we agreed that I would work in the business for six months to verify the financials, which so far align with his POS system.My main issue is that at 23, I don't have strong financials to get a conventional loan at 75% LTV with a ~7% rate, and the seller's lack of financials complicates bank approval.

Always push for the bidding war, it will push the price higher than what anyone expects due to the competition overwhelm that buyers get and push the property to new heights.

Initially, I was hesitant due to the lack of information available about Invest1 properties, as their website is a very nondescript page without any solid information about who they are or the type of properties they offer.

tougher than advertised. there is lots of competition for deals; good contractors are booked up; materials are expensive; and interest rates are high.

I believe our town is lack of driving range and it will be great addition if I can make it happen!
