That’s something I’m actively exploring—whether it’s through direct-to-seller marketing, networking with local wholesalers, or even tapping into connections through my brother-in-law, who works with builders and contractors in the area.I’m not expecting slam-dunk deals or easy wins, but the numbers on a few potential projects I’ve run so far seem to work under the assumption that I’ll leave some cash in the deals.

Expanding your portfolio, streamlining tenant management, diversifying income streams, building a network, and planning for growth are also recommended.

I’m Keagan, a realtor and investor based in Indianapolis, and I’ve worked with several clients on value-add multifamily deals and have done a couple myself.For finding off-market opportunities, I’d recommend:County Tax Delinquent Lists – Great for uncovering distressed properties.Direct Mail Campaigns – Target out-of-state owners.Local Networking Events – Connect with wholesalers who specialize in multifamily.I’d be happy to introduce you to lenders and share leads if Indy is on your radar.

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. 

Try Bungalow, Cohere Network, Dreamhouse, Padsplit, Roomster, SpareRoom, Tripalink, etc.

Hey @Mike Williams, we actually have a lender in our network that can get this done.

It would also be important to network with other investors, stay informed about regional market shifts, and leverage any available incentives to maximize my investment potential.Good luck!

Recommend 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.

If I was to solicit for wholesale deals, I would suggest, as above, to network at any and all real estate investment meetups in your area as you can! 

Hi Nando, I'm an Agent and Investor in the Spokane area but I have a good network in the greater Seattle area.
