We're been mostly looking at single families, but that's because we don't have a huge network yet of others interested.

@Paul Washington Below are the meets ups I typically go to.IMPACT Grapevine - https://www.meetup.com/DFW-REI-Network-Investing-Meetup/- Started in Bigger Pockets this group meets on the 4th Monday of each month.

I am in the Indy area and would like to better network.

I think that strategy works best in higher areas or mid term rentals near major employers.  

Plano is a major job market to the South.

We don't want to bring on every owner or every property unless they fit within our target market, so, I do the far majority of the sales - this is our check and balance.

Any major mistakes to avoid? 

@Chantelle LewisRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I'd done some reading in the past and thought a few of the main Canadian banks had such specialty trust divisions that could help you with plan setup.As for finding investments, networking with other investors, real estate agents, etc. is the way to go.Brian, from what I've heard is that CAN banks  make it extremely difficult to setup. 

Minimal changes to effect common entrances, no major shifts in load bearing, easy plumbing changes for wherever the new kitchen would be... it's a lot of boxes to check.
