I am currently based in Canada and am looking to embark on my real estate investment journey in the United States, specifically focusing on multifamily properties. 

3) how did you decide on the specific city you chose to invest in?

What are your specific goals with real estate investing?

Narrowing down the options will probably come down to comps and city/neighborhood specifics; things like permits.Any good suggestions for finding out how long permits are taking in certain areas?

I personally like Alabama and Tennessee a lot, depending on what specific area you're looking at.Look for Class B or C properties in stable rental markets, particularly single-family homes or duplexes.

While this guidance provides general steps, it’s not legal advice; an attorney will ensure the process aligns with your specific circumstances.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Look up the courses taught by Justin Kivel, specifically the Pro forma modeling course and the real estate financial modeling boot camp.

In light of this, I have been exploring the possibility of pursuing creative finance options, specifically seller finance deals, as a potential means to achieve my goals.

If you have any specific questions, I am here to assist.

Is there anything specific I should focus on during the due diligence process, particularly regarding title and document inspection, compared to a traditional sale?
