It's nothing fancy... just three pages outlining my vision, goals, criteria, etc... but it's given me much needed clarity. 

Sorry for the lack of clarity.  

Prop w ADU or casita, the dream would be a cash-flowing multifamily I’m now getting hung up on SFR v Duplex, LTR v MTR I’d even be willing to dip my toe into the STR for some of these that I’ve come across that are already set up on AirbnbIf you’re still here thanks for reading what’s basically my life story, but where I’m trying to seek clarity/mentorship is where to start…area, buy one prop under the first strategy, buy two, don’t buy an SFR go straight to duplex, buy out of state conventionally, then use an FHA for a CA prop, most important figures: cap rate, 1% rule, cashflow, etc etc…I know I will learn a lot along the way and I’m afraid my analysis paralysis is getting the better of me, but for those seasoned investors, I’m pretty sure you have some wisdom/perspective on what I shared above.Any thoughts would be most helpful.

Thanks for the clarity Ken.

Most of my leads that I've been getting recently are Free & Clear and I've been looking for clarity and ways to convince the sellers that there are benefits to carrying a note!

Well, the lack of clarity in general is not a good showing either honestly.Is this some crowd funding thing?

Hi Lori,It is so important that you have clarity when investing so I appreciate you reaching out to us for help.

I would suggest getting clarity on who your ideal renter is and what do they want?

That said, if you were to look in the U.S.A. rust belt or Texas, you could find even better returns.As Aaron stated, more clarity around your thoughts/plans will help focus the advice and feedback you receive here (and might limit the number of turnkey solicitations you receive).As far as selling your current property, if you no longer maintain a Canadian presence you could be taxed as a foreign investor.  

I will say, one account per property gives you CLARITY on that property's cash performance and gives you more data.
