I think there is so much value in having a supportive network, so I'm looking to set up a monthly lunch for us to exchange ideas, tips, and encouragement.

@Kyle Kline“Investing for equity and not cash flow” doesn’t mean “buy properties that don’t cash flow.”To me, invest for equity not cash flow means that the PRIMARY reason to invest is for equity growth and an increase in net worth and NOT cash flow.I’ve been investing for over 40 years and while cash flow is important, it’s not why invest.A property must be self supporting ie produce enough cash flow to cover debt service, operational expenses including repairs and replacements.

However, some DSCR lenders can support a refinance in under 6 months, which can help speed things up. 

If you're looking for cash-flowing property -- you'll want to look in a market that supports that the most, the same goes for if you're looking for long-term rentals or appreciation. 

What are the markets that support your goals and ROI expectations?

I usually use Redfin, but Canada isn't supported.

Quote from @Issa Joseph: I DIDNT GET IT LOL for now my business plan doesn't support this purchase but an extra 10k per unit per year profit is significant growth in revenue But ask yourself - how much of this $10k increase (remember alleged) could you gain yourself by doing research and asking questions on this forum.......? 

Specifically, something where we as agents could network with each other, vendors who support our business, and also investors in the BP community.

It's hard for me to imagine suburban office / retail getting hit harder than it already has, and a small building for small companies in the services field feels interesting to me - right now that's a "Feel" and I have to wrap my head around whether data supports this hunch or not, but I do at the very least like the fact that office has been hit so hard, and seems to have no net new supply coming online.
