My aim is to build a climate controlled facility at one of these identified locations - about 250-300 units. 

You can start with a house hack, either a SF or a 2-4 unit property.

Was this a unit you owned?

@Angela SammonsI am not sure if you need any property management tools for one rental unit, but I would definitely open a separate bank account to keep the funds separate from your own.

But if they are smaller units like Condos i wont my own place .. 

I do like the desire to build unique, a unique new construction unit will do good in most markets. 

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

All of those units went to owner occupants. 

Hey everyone, I'm a highly seasoned multi-family investor and developer in Canada, with a track record of successfully developing over 800+ units.
