Definitely would like to pass any info along to my international partners as well.....so im following this

I frankly am not so impressed by them because of their very high internal fees, but they can simplify the 1031 process especially for a seller that wants to stay or get out of the active property management saddle.

You might do well with just vacationers and convention goers but if not, look to interns and students.A popular pivot has been towards military and healthcare essential workers.

If cruises are shut down, international travel is down, domestic flights are down - vacation rentals are a great safe option for people to enjoy themselves at a lake, beach, or mountain destination.

If the seller won't give it to you for that, decide how much less than ideal cash flow you can live with, or just move on to another deal.You can substitute ROI for Cash Flow, or Internal Rate of Return, or whatever you feel is most important, and do the same exercise.It's pretty much the same as a flip.

See if you can intern and learn how to find great deals.

But man... do I wish I "internalized" all the math I learned in school. 

For example, our house price-to-income ratio is lower than France, Greece, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Spain, and many more.

Walling off things and removing the kitchen only creates internal obsolescence that will raise issues with the appraiser. 

I'd like to read more about it as I've still got time to invest as I am an international student in Canada right now (I can't invest legally until I'm graduated which in my case is December 2021) and which areas should I consider considering the cash flow and areas with a good pool of tenants.I'd like to dig deep into it, I'm open to any suggestions or guidance.
