@Sean MacDonaldThanks for reaching out, I appreciate your willingness to help and answer any questions.

As such, I am reaching out for expert advice on how best to start my journey in real estate, particularly as a Canadian looking to invest in the U.S. 

Not much, but something to keep in mind.They are all good options, I would also recommend a place where you are physically the closest to or can get to easily.

Look into local tax incentives and financing options, and reach out to local real estate groups or mentors to better understand the market.Good luck!

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect or need more insights!

Welcome @Pratik Patel, feel free to reach out if you need anything!

Your debt is easily found, I suggest you disclose the loan. :)

Hi Kwanza,Bay Tek (650-204-1512) would be a great starting point, but I’d also recommend reaching out to Adler Builders (650-398-9030) and Mission Home Remodeling (415-855-7269) for comparable bids.In San Francisco, you’ll need a licensed General Contractor (GC) to pull the necessary permits.

Really expedites the time it takes to reach FI when you can completely eliminate your housing payment and get into multis for such little down and start building equity/cash flow with each one.

If they are professional, they can explain this quickly and easily.
