Julie,Facebook/Social Media is your best option other than posting it on a MTR for rent or sale.

Hello,I'm from Toronto, ON (Canada) and I'm currently trying to understand what the tax implications would be if I were to invest in US multifamily (3-6 units) real estate.

Most retired couple, should be able to  “get by” with 5, especially if they have any other investment< social security or a pension. 

I would check with a real estate attorney in both Arizona and Minnesota to make sure you're compliant with state specific requirements and to handle any potential tax implications.

Do you research them ahead of time on Facebook or other social media?

The use predictive analytics to determine who might sell, they create social ads and online marketing to target them, and they get clicks. 90-95% of these appointments are really for investors because they are built around sell your house quickly and then an agent shows up and tries to list it.

I understand some of the possible implications of making this move would be a likely higher interest rate and lower NOI on the new investment but would like to get additional feedback on what other things I should take into consideration with this possible move from those out there who might have some experience in this realm.
