Hey @Amit Garg happy to help out with this as I'm pretty familiar with the various programs in Canada, as I've built quite a network over the past 10 years with investors across Canada and hear a lot of things.I think it would be best to jump on a call and talk about it.Without knowing more about you and your goals, it's hard to give a recommendation.

Larger cities offer better infrastructure, such as international airports, interstate highways, and a broader talent pool, making them attractive to businesses and tenants.Avoid Rent ControlRent control laws can hinder your ability to adjust rents to match inflation, limit tenant screening, and complicate evictions.

When I said size doesn't matter as much I meant for STR you don't need massive rooms, larger common areas, etc.If you went MTR you might go further away from RTP and go for higher bedroom count, for less appreciation on average.NOTHING about this post is gospel.

Then your best bet are probably community banks which have more flexibility (albeit worse terms) than larger banks and also worth looking into are DSCR lenders.

Leverage magnifies return. 3) The effort involved in adding an ADU is comparable or larger than a rehab associated with a BRRRR.

NETWORK!!!

If you stick with the larger down payments, you’ll have more stability and less risk, especially if the market shifts, but it will slow down how quickly you can buy additional properties.

I have text in my lease stating that the tenant is not allowed to make repairs to holes in walls and that any repair work that takes over 30 minutes or is larger than the size of small nail will be repaired by the landlord's hired labor at a cost of $30 per hour plus material costs. 

We were recently networking and someone told us about buying homes from auctions.
