Financing - I've heard that it is tougher to put 20% down on properties in Canmore, and the banks ask for larger down payments.Properties are also very expensive in Canmore.

Enough investors around that will pay more than wholesalers so it is tougher for us to match you up with buyers or sellers.You're other option perhaps is to find primadonna realtors, not hustler realtors.   

Just be aware, the higher end of cashflow are the higher risk areas -  tougher class of tenants, older housing stock, less appreciation. 

It is tougher than it seems to keep a good team together.Good luck

But's it's tougher now than it was for a brand new investor 5 years ago. 

I also think Trenton/Hamilton area is also affordable, though its neighborhood is tougher than Easton.So my question is: Is Easton is good place for small multifamily investing?

don't, stay local.cash flower is tougher everywhere now because of rates.if your immediate area is too expensive get in your car and drive until the price point goes down.

Its the whole reason I am now building there was a huge gap.. and I was able to come into it. when I did my first subdivision full build out from dirt to finished product in 2015 working with my banker he said I was the first horizontal loan they had made since 2006.. and we struggled to remember who we set them up LOL. and i am sure other markets were the same not all but many .. so for PDX metro 2 million people  from 09 to 2015 they need 40k houses to keep up with demand they build about 10k so we have been at this acute shortage for all these years.So what else creates the shortage Of course land and entitlement process when i did my first subdivision in Oregon in 95 110 lots.. at the time I jsut bought dirt entitled it and flipped it. that took 180 days from going into contract to having an approve pre limnary plat.. now it takes about 3 years then another year to build it and record the plat.. so you have this huge lead time as well.. then you have land use policies in most markets that got tougher.. so all of these things combined have created this shortage in some markets not all but in many. 

As we refine our search for properties, I'm sure they will be able to help answer tougher questions we develop. 

If the area will attract a tougher type tenant to manage, then I would flip it right away and move on. $750 seems like pretty low rents to me for a house, so you might also explore that number a bit more to see if you can get more.
