I'm a new real estate investor based in Calgary looking to network

Mortgage rates are based on what lenders consider risk factors such as loan to value, credit, etc. 

Most lending is based on cashflow, not the 2% rule (although still a good rule of thumb for some types of investments), might have the most help from the group if you provided some of those details here just so it'd be easier for us to help you best. 

I've been giving lots of thought buying a lot for build and sale of a SFR, and would like to touch base with like minded folks.Thank you,Shawn I was in the 6 month program and paid $5000.

Hi Charles, I'm also based in Honolulu with young kids and in a similar situation to you, have also thought about buying an investment property in Japan that we could use part-time and rent out at other times.

Hi @Alex Lee I would avoid 203K loan and work with conventional renovation loan based on knowing you'll be forced to use 203k certified contractors which will cost more money and offer inflated pricing because they must follow 203k guidelines. 

I was thinking of starting a rent increase for my 1 bedroom tenant voucher due it being low and well under fair market value(Based on  hud and zip code) but my tenant is in the process of having a caretaker for her disability and getting approved for a two bedroom voucher.

Willing to go the extra mile here based on the numbers.Thanks!!

It can be used to monitor markets, filter results based on lots of different criteria & even includes annual revenue numbers that you can work backwards to see how certain markets/properties are performing.

Was hoping to get at least 115k based off what comps were.
