See what down payment and reserves you need and make sure you have that in place or if not, you know what your goals are for 2025.

They knew this was not my ask or need.

Quote from @Rick Ilich: Thank you very much for the quick response!

@Phil Petite Forming an LLC in Tennessee is recommended if your rental properties are located there, as it simplifies legal compliance, avoids the need to register as a foreign LLC, and aligns the LLC with Tennessee's laws for property management and tenant disputes.

In many markets section 8 is higher than market rate. and investors need that extra return to mitigate the risk of sec 8 tenants generally speaking.

Its just so much more seamless than any other experience I have had to date.

Hi Dean, how much did you really leave up to your property managers after purchasing a home when looking to scale? 

As a foreign buyer, you are to look for 2 things in particular: the temporary foreign ban (which they keep pushing further back) and the source - The foreign purchase ban which applies across the board. yes there are exceptions but if you are not a Canadian tax Resident (which it seems you are), you will need to look for communities where the population is less than 100,000 in general. - Another exception to note on that foreign buyer ban is the number of units/doors for your investment: I believe the magic number is 5+ as this would be considered as commercial Real Estate- In Ontario, you will also have to look our for the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) which imposes about 25% on the purchase tax.

I know that I will need a good realtor on my team that understands not just the market but the real estate investment industry itself.

I sure have to learn the terminology and implications of certain aspects and im sure I will but it very much helps having such helpful resources as the contributing folks in the forum here.Thank you all for your support!
