I've been investing successfully in Toronto for 13 years, but made the move to SD with the family.

So when the right opportunity arises, it won’t slip through my fingers.My goal is to have at least: two community banks, two small credit unions, and two regionals banks at my disposal.

On December 8, the most recent residential land value report for the Greater Toronto Area and southwestern Ontario was released by MCAP (For more info visit http://www.mcap.com/development-finance/lot-value-...).

@Juan MendozaGreat place to ask a good question like this.  1st - there are tons of different systems on grading a region.  

I am currently looking to purchase a multi family unit in the upstate NY region as i see that the rent to price ratio make lots of sense currently looking at the Albany,watervliet,cohoes areas would like some input as far as these areas are concerned or other areas that i should consider,also how are the tenants law etc.

Regionally you may see something different.

I live in Brooklyn and work in NYC and have been interested in the Lehigh Valley region of PA - it's growing, has stable institutions for employment (colleges, hospitals), is not a bad drive and isn't too expensive.

I understand from sources online that it is best to speak to many companies about doing BPOs at first, but from the vast pools of the internet, I have come to realize that most of the BPO companies I am seeing are regional and I haven't been able to get a hold of the right people or right websites to apply to be an REO agent.

You'll probably get better terms from local or regional banks.

Credit Union/Regional Bank - Typically will act as a delegated or non-delegated mortgage banker.
