-> Where to find people (architects, surveyors, etc): it’s hard to find people who operate on a national level, except for the main real estate agents.

I plan on investing mainly for the hands-off nature of it.

I had 2 or 3 called.Now again keep in mind I had zero interest in holding these as rentals and I ONLY bought homes that had significant equity for me.. mainly all pre foreclosures..

Lenders desperately need/want business especially in this interest rate environment (right now, the main source of mortgage loan business in Florida is rehab financing as a result of the hurricane damages) and one way the big players differentiate themselves is by streamlining the process.

Quote from @Lorraine Hadden: Take these California Malls ---- Eastmont Mall - Closed (Oakland); Carousel Mall - Closed (San Bernardino); Laguna Hills Mall - Closed (which was featured in BACK TO THE FUTURE); and the Village at Orange - Closed.

@Steven CatudalIf your partner’s main role is finding deals on the MLS or manage tenants, obviously a real estate agent does this and is paid commission. 

Principal balance currently at 314kProperty Details: It's essentially a "2-in-1" property, with the main unit rented out for $1,900/month and an attached ADU bringing in an additional $1,200/month.

BP meetups for instance is mainly an excuse to have a beer and maybe happy hour type conversations.. i hosted one and went to one..

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. 

Some banks even offer features that allow account holders to manage individual tenant information within one account, making the process more convenient.
