Now that house has been rented out for the past two years, and I want to buy another possible duplex or triplex to house hack.

Both lots were 20k total or 10k each. 

NJ is a big one—places like Newark, Paterson, or even smaller towns have better cash flow potential.

I was looking for some advice (viable target areas in Cleveland or Ohio in general, financing options and credible PM/realtor contacts) from the experts here though especially if you are in a similar boat as mine (reside in Canada/Ontario area and invest in US). 

Can anyone shed some light on what kind of down payment, terms and qualification requirements we would typically be looking at for an SBA or low down commercial loan?

I'm not sure if the deals are just difficult at the end of 2024 in to 2025 or I'm just inexperienced.

Written policies are necessary when you add employees to aid with training or enforcement of standards.I would focus on adding doors to your management company.

The reason to have comparables is if you are representing someone or perhaps purchasing a house for yourself to live in.

can check out local apps like eventbrite or meetups
