Do you mind expanding on how you attained closing cost and down payment?

I've been wanting to expand out of my market in Iowa, and see that the Winter Haven, Lakeland, Haines City areas are similar to purchase points as my market.

If the market is appreciating rapidly, I'm with you—equity growth takes the lead.

Our growth has been entirely organic, driven by word-of-mouth referrals, but we’re now looking to expand our reach to new investors who might be interested in our offerings.I’ve seen and heard a lot about lead magnets (e.g., signing up for an eBook in exchange for an email address) and was wondering if anyone has suggestions on lead magnets that have been particularly effective in converting interested parties into prospects.I’d greatly appreciate any advice or guidance you can share.

I plan to start with a multi-unit property for house hacking and gradually expand into more investments.

There was quite a bit of unused land and the zoning gave me some flexibility if I wanted to expand various aspects of the property.Also the self storage units were all below market rent and the seller was willing to finance at a decent rate with a 5 year balloon.

I'm not sure if any also lend in Canada, but you might want to expand your search to include "non-recourse" just in case it leads to some more options for you.

Good Morning,I am a former Claims Specialist with the Social Security Administration and currently unemployed homeowner who is looking for guidance on how to gain property management experience here in the Central Coast of California.My wife is the only one working at the moment, so times are tough to say the least.We're looking to rent out a portion of our home in order to save up enough money to purchase our second home (or multi-family unit), rent that out, and begin to expand our portfolio. 

I'm looking at expanding into out of state and just trying to figure out what questions I should ask/data I should gather to make an informed decision!

Ideally it should still cash flow solidly but may not appreciate quite as rapidly as the bigger market.
