Quote from @Jake Dunsmore: Hey Tony, I am a investment real estate agent here in Kansas City buying/selling off market deals very frequently.

There are a lot of rules to be aware of, but I'm a big Self-Directed IRA fan. 

I also rented nearby and could be at the property frequently. 

So, for those who frequently hire contractors (good ones), how do you find good contractors?

There is less demand for assets in tertiary markets.I'm not a fan of all 1 beds, but that depends upon the market.

@Kyle FairbanksI'm a fan of Austin.

While Canadian-specific groups aren't as prominent on Bigger Pockets, there's a thriving community of investors here who frequently collaborate across borders, especially when it comes to cross-border investing strategies and tax considerations.If you’re interested in connecting with more Canadian investors, I’d recommend starting by joining the BP groups focused on international investing.

We do sight unseen frequently.

Be prepared to defend it if the stuff hits the fan.4.
