Hello,I am a real estate investor located to Southeast MA, I own and manage a small portfolio of 23 units and am looking to expand and scale out of state as the returns and market have been quite difficult in my area: due to CAP Rates, specific building class I am looking to invest in, and rising interest rates/minimal inventory, as well as it would be nicer to be diversified and in a more landlord friendly state.  

The scope of what you asked covers a broad area from estate planning, to tax planning and forward. 

Call the zoning department again, and this time ask specific questions: Is a variance required, or can you proceed as-is?

Are there specific qualities or terms you look for that make the relationship a good fit for your investment strategy?

If you plan to manage remotely, then find a good PM or have a trusted team that can inspect your property regularly - and be ready to pay them.

In mid February, many tenants get caught up when they start getting their income tax refunds (depending how fast they file).Income tax refunds also give tenants the needed funds for first month of rent + security deposit, so they can move.Check out this graph, which was created from tens of thousands of data points:Regarding your property, suggest the following:1) Where specifically is it being advertised?

Hi @Esther IrokoPlease kindly ignore all the specific advice from Americans as the landlord-tenant laws are so different in Canada.

@Greg StrunakA good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

The specific assistance organization, the screening of the tenant, the property, and the PM company that should be communicating with the tenant all play a role in the success of your investment in regards to tenants.

I love that you’re already narrowing down specific zip codes and doing your due diligence.I’ve heard good things about 73170 and 73135, especially with the proximity to Tinker Air Force Base, which tends to attract stable tenants.
