And the laws and regulations here are very different, not very strict like the states.Prices are high and rents are low over here.

I was relieved to hear you speak highly of his program after reading the posts before yours.

I'm out of Fairmont MN also, been building a portfolio of apartment buildings in the area.

I know a lot of investors have done very well in Peirce County but I just haven't learned or know enough about that market to make an investment there.Washington state properties are expensive and can be difficult to make breakeven let alone cash flow at this moment due to the combination of high prices and interest rates. 

Converted large commercial space into 2 residential apartments.

Look for properties with high cash flow potential, good condition, and room for improvement, such as value-add opportunities.

If it is a high end housing product you may have to use a designer because they have access to some material/finish suppliers that are otherwise unavailable but that tends to only be for the highest end housing deliveries.

However, due to high property costs in our local market, we have been exploring opportunities in more affordable states, including Texas, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Ohio.

So if conventional primary residence rates are that high, par rates on investment properties are generally higher. 

I set my rent standards a little high and realized that rent is actually not that high.. we have a morgage on it and it looks like the house is selling for more than we originally paid 4 years ago.
