All have varying views on how one flavor is more "aligned" with the LP investors.

@Alireza Shayan, while I cannot speak for investing in Canada, in general I don't see the current market being great for buy and hold rentals, unless there is a major rehab component.  

Best to align with someone in your market who is already fixing or already wholesaling or already investing.

If you aren’t in that situation, be open to multiple partnerships and place those partnerships circumstantially to align everyone’s strengths and goals based on the deal.

https://www.bisnow.com/nationa...Citing survey data from Alignable, 34% percent of small retail businesses couldn’t make rent in April, up 6 percentage points from February. 

Every market is a little different but the main components i've seen are home prices, crime rates, new development, schools, income levels of residents, vacanies.

The most important thing to me is the value-add component and being able to force appreciation, but that's just what fits me personally and everyone has their own strengths and strategies to compliment those strengths.

With SFR being deconstructed, there is no way any type of bias or room for potential bias will be tolerated in other areas affecting real estateIt seems the new standard or obligation is for landlords to operate apartments on a model more aligned to what the hotel industry has been made to follow since the end of legal segregation where people have a right to accommodation as long as they meet certain basic standards and have the ability to pay.   

@Shatori Walker It sound like passive investing into real estate aligns more to your current lifestyle.

Depending on your market you want to align your listing period with the peaks of the rental market.
