I see all kinds of work trucks and I deal with investors all the time, and I've always been curious about what various investors in those areas are up to and what strategies they use.

Some MICs in Canada may diversify their portfolio to include anything from smaller second residential mortgages to mortgages for commercial development properties.I have found in my experience working with B lenders (i have a long list of them) is that each MIC has its own investment strategy. 

Looking forward to connecting with you. best strategy I've come up with after 10 years of experience in columbus is to build new construction multifamily with equity. 50k land purchase, 10k soft cost / rezoning / permitting, 300k hard cost, refinance and is worth 500k. build - Rent - refinance - repeat. if you want to buy old properties I would but no agent is going to stay on with you and you only get some diluted version of what they call a contractor who probably isn't licensed.

@A H.you may get people chiming in with advice on Kansas City or other out of state markets that they want to recommend to you, but I am going to be blunt.it is very, very difficult to cash flow right now unless you are using some kind of creative strategy (or combination of strategies).you might be able to use your HELOC to buy 1-2 properties... but if you use a HELOC for the DP + a mortgage, that will likely be so expensive that you won't cash flow at all and will be negative every year.

I’m seeking help on creating a strategy to purchase property near the Los Angeles/Inglewood area up to 2 hours outside these cities.

Moreover, due to my irregular income, obtaining financing isn't a viable option for me.Considering the above constraints, my plan involves a different strategy tailored to a specific area in Alabama.

Im just looking for general information and strategy suggestions.

All I know is I'm just looking for strategy help/expertise and not for a company to manage my investments/funds who preferably charges a flat fee vs a % of my assets.

Timing of the sale of each might be an issue, it's a complicated strategy you will want to think through and plan for before you list either property. 

Want to link up with an agent that can find us off-market deals, as well as a GC in the area that is familiar with fix&flip or BRRRR strategies.
