Good morning,Bigger Pockets Forums, Today I’m doing the inspection of what I hope becomes my first real estate investment.I spent the last 2 months reading, listening to podcasts, talking to other investors, combing through listings, and visiting properties in Baltimore near where I live.  

Understand that the cost to the investor is only the cash that's out of pocket. 

If First Eagle’s sale leads to more private equity firms entering real estate lending, investors could see:✔ More flexible financing options – Private equity firms may offer alternative lending products.✔ Potential changes in loan terms – Depending on capital market shifts, interest rates for real estate investors may become more favorable.3.

There aren't many "short-term, get rich quick" type investment options in SoCal today. 

For example, I've had a couple of 3+ bedrooms sit for a longer period of time because they only had one parking space available (and no on-street options nearby).

@Joshua Simmons Welcome to Bigger Pockets! 

I have done my research on setting up the proper entity structure in the US and Canada but I really confused about all the options available LP, LLP, C-corp, S-corp.

Have been exploring other options as well.
