I left them recently like many others have in the last 5 months and even though our money was technically an investment and a limited partner contribution, they refused to give anyone their money back even after stating numerous times they would give people their money back if they choose to leave. 

If you are investing from out-of-state you want to make sure whoever you are going to choose to work with is being honest and transparent not just about the Flint marketplace but about the strengths and weaknesses they face as a company, day in / day out.

You are welcome to obtain these funds as a 2nd elsewhere if you choose.

I've read BiggerPockets' Real Estate Investing book and am particularly interested in the house hacking strategy, as I'd like to move out of my current living situation.Our main dilemma is choosing between a single-family home (renting out one room to a close friend) or a multifamily property like a duplex or triplex.

But then you have the benefits of using it yourself, plus you'll build equity if you choose the right property.

Quote from @Johnny Lynum: If you had the chance to invest in your first property, would you choose a single-family home or a multifamily property?

A lot of major companies are choosing to build and develop here (Intel, Meta, Amazon, Google, etc.) so the population and job market are also growing.

Hi @Akintunde AboabaIf you want to reduce your risk of difficult tenants, choose a province with fair landlord-tenant laws, like Alberta, and not BC.

You could choose to let your mother stay in the property rent-free.

I normally pick and choose the events I go to based on what will be discussed.
