Currently making $80000 salary.

With the current downturn in the Canadian housing market, I'm curious if anyone is currently investing in the Toronto or Niagara Falls areas, or any other markets in Ontario that might present good opportunities.

Here’s some context: Property 1: >$100k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $220k @ 2.88% (30-year fixed)Property 2: >$70k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $252k @ 3.38% (30-year fixed)Extra considerations: - I have $15-20k liquid to use for any of these deals- My current job is relatively stable, but not high-payin- Current properties in TX, living in NY, looking to invest in Mid-West (crazy, I know)- No other debt obligations besides the two mortgagesUltimate goal/timeline: Though a bit ambitious, I’d love to build up the portfolio to 10-20 units in the next two yearsI understand that any/all replies aren't financial advice; all ideas welcome for information purposes. 

Congrats @Emily Pena - I'm also an agent (working mostly with investors), property manager and an investor myself (currently owning 26 rental units). 

Quote from @Kannon Vogt: Hello all, I'm currently residing in central Texas and looking for advice when looking to find my first investment property to get started off on the right foot. 

Quote from @Amanda Nelson: Hello - I found a very compelling investment property and the agent and her preferred lender are suggesting that the VA loan currently on the property is assumable by a real estate investor.

I’m open to paying the $20K to bring the mortgage current, but I want to ensure my position is protected.If the deal falls through, how can I secure my $20K so I’m not left out of pocket?

Because of this, I’m looking for investment opportunities that maximize my current capital and financing options.I'm considering investing in Birmingham, AL, where I’ve found several SFHs in the $30K–$40K range that I believe I could rehab for about $25K and rent for around $900/month.

Thank you to the Brrrr method and a great team, we've been able to grow quicklyUnfortunate though, we have had a less than pleasant experience with our current property management company.
