I currently invest only in rural communities and small towns and its allowed me to scale to 24 units in three years. 

Be careful when you select entity types.A pass-through entity in the United States, such as an LLC, may not hold the same characteristics in Canada.What market are you looking to invest in?

I house hacked this 4-unit property start year of 2022, moved out in a triplex in 2023.

VA loan on a 2-4 unit is a great idea. 

I am finally at my two year mark not being W2 so if I can skip past DSCR loans and the such that would be much preferred as I dont want to pay the fees if I don't have to as I am trying to get some money I put into each unit to renovate back out of it. 

A multi-unit property was purchased for $140k. 

Our NTE for a single unit is $500 so if there was a $475 plumbing bill we knew was necessary for the property we would be paying it and you would see it in your monthly statement.

There is quite a few forums that already discuss this topic, but buying 1-4 units in an LLC with a DSCR loan also comes with higher rates at the cost of using an LLC

Conventional financing is a great option to get started if you have a W2 job or easily verifiable income and you're financing a 1-4 unit property.
