Real estate investing and the agent business are about relationships, not sales.

I just bought my first rental property, and it came with a pool that needs some repairs that could be fixed.

When pitching to a private investor, focus on the projected return, timeline, and security for their investment.

My focus is helping fellow investors buy and sell investment properties.

I invest in LTRs, usually that need to undergo major rehab prior to being converted into LTRs (not a flipper, fix & hold).

It's also pretty awesome to hear that you are looking to start investing in property over here too. 

They are also frowned upon by the title underwriters.These types of investment strategies should only be pursued by seasoned investors that have done them a few dozen times or in close cooperation with a law and title office that knows these systems.Be safe out there guys Alan

While Canadian-specific groups aren't as prominent on Bigger Pockets, there's a thriving community of investors here who frequently collaborate across borders, especially when it comes to cross-border investing strategies and tax considerations.If you’re interested in connecting with more Canadian investors, I’d recommend starting by joining the BP groups focused on international investing.

I want to break into investing via private equity because loans with interest/origination fees aren't allowed in my religion.

It's always the worst time to invest.
