I’d love to hear about the crime rates or any other issues (which we cannot guess from the online stats), and how easy or hard it is to find reliable tenants and property management companies.

One tenant is behind on rent and has still not paid December rent.I’m seeing mixed things online but looks like I have to file something by the 31st?

Networking, local meetups, door knocking, mailers, wholesalers, online forums specific to your area of interest.  

My recommendation would be to get approved as a Landlord, contact the director's office and request that an inspection be completed before a tenant is selected (sometimes they will do this as long as you select a tenant within 14 days - which you want anyways), and have an online application and screening resource in place.  

Quote from @Diana Teng: Hi all,I think my question above is pretty direct.I'm interested to buy my first rental property, and after doing a brief search I see that there are quite a number of places out-of-state (I live in NY state)  that offer affordable homes that deem to be in hot market areas right now (according to many different articles online). 

I have been reading the online resources about getting started, searching the market, and even doing tours, but I am hesitant to jump in and buy a house as I have quite a large amount of student debt.

go to meetups, join online communities, talk to people, make friends.good luck

Maybe it's in my head but sometimes there are two LVP advertised online with the same thickness, but in real life one feels obviously thinner/thicker.

I am a 24 year old who's employed in the CAF and looking to getting into real estate, more specifically BRRRR.After looking online for quite some time I've noticed how high Canadian real estate is and I wonder if it is even worth getting into.

I picked her exactly because she had a good social and online footprint!!
