While I haven't gotten to the point of sitting down and writing down my goals and plan (it will probably happen this weekend while my wife/daughter are out of town), my first inclination is SFH buy and hold properties that I can build low and slow growth...and evolve from there.

It is difficult to explain what my mind is exactly thinking about real estate because it is dynamic and evolving.

I see myself targeting mostly stuff under 100 units early on and doing as much volume as possible, and as my business evolves and I earn the credibility to list larger parks, at that point starting to expand geographically and limiting my focus to larger parks 75 units or more.

We only need 12 months of housing history and proof of rent payments.The DSCR market has evolved a great deal over the past couple of years, which has opened up access to more investors. 

This will start out as a part time position but can evolve to a full time position for the right successful person.

Speaking as someone who watched the Vancouver market (Toronto as well though not as closely) as it evolved (at a time when I didn't have the knowledge that I have now) but still hoping to get her foot in the door, it is definitely an appreciation market.I agree with @Cody Neustaedter regarding the prairie provinces.

@Coleman Kerr, This post will be fun to watch evolve :).

Hi @Ben Smith - my views on this have been evolving over the past few months.

Seems like the Wild West when it comes to underwriting, but my hunch is there is profit waiting for you on the other side if you persist.I’m sure this will evolve over time as more municipalities ban STRs and operators convert them to MTRs.

I plan to build 90% spec (I don't want to deal with people as much, let the realtors do that) and my goal is to get to 10-12 specs per year.
