Do you have any idea of the price point you can afford and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

One of the key challenges I’m facing is understanding the financing options available to someone without Canadian residency or a local credit history.From my research, it seems that a 35% down payment is often required, with interest rates around 7.5-8.5% for non-residents.

Quote from @Tannia Castro: I would say the key would be to narrow in on an area (this could be a city if you are not from that area and investing remotely), or this could be a part of the city (some local streets) if it is in your backyard.

You're better off opting for an interest-only mortgage, saving on payments, and then refinancing it into something more conventional when interest rates drop—or, if possible, making a plan to pay down the principal.Interest-only loans, which typically last for the first 5 to 10 years of the loan term, offer two key benefits.

Sellers who are in financial distress or dealing with a property in poor condition might be more open to this type of arrangement if it helps them get back on their feet.The key to making this work is transparency and clear communication.

If you aren’t seeking renovation loans and just buying turn key ready properties DSCR loans will be your best friend 

They’re ideal for those building portfolios, as they don’t require extensive personal financial documentation.A key tip is to ensure the property’s cash flow comfortably exceeds the lender’s DSCR requirement (typically 1.25x or higher).

So when you hire that able handyman and give him keys to all of the apartments and the security codes without learning that he is 90 days out of prison for breaking and entering and committing assault and kidnapping your umbrella coverage may not help.And, these days, a million dollars of coverage will deal with the contents of a small truck that you sideswipe and it bounces around a little with the electronics inside.

This zip code also has room for appreciation as OKC continues to expand westward.Building the right team is key!
