Looking forward to networking and hearing more about your investment plans!

Considering most homes will not cash flow with 20% or less down, plan on 20% and most likely 25% down required - depending on the cash flow expectations. 

Private Money Lenders are going to be hard for a primary residence as it is an investment and typically they want to see a return prior to two years - also, the house would need to be purchased at a discount which would limit your options on a primary residence - now if you are looking for something that needs some work that you are planning on fixing up, it would be a little more feasible.

I don't think Im paying my bookeepeer an outrageous amount, although with economies of scale (I have one commercial insurance plan, commerical portfolio loan from a single bank, one bank account, etc) it probably doesn't take the Bookeeper 3x to do my books compared to yours. 

The plans will probably be developed while the government plans, carries out, or coerces, clean up, and puts liens on the properties being cleaned up. 

If you plan to scale, I would get one right away on your first property.

We'd love to escape the cold Dutch winters and enjoy a warmer climate.When we're not using the property, we plan to rent it out as an Airbnb to generate passive income.

Quote from @Celine Besson: Hi everyone,We recently moved from Memphis, TN, to Montreal, Quebec.Before leaving, we planned to invest in a small house, renovate it, and rent it out (Ultimate goal would be to BRRRR).

We are seeing a lot of investors have success with this strategy with plans to hold the properties they are rehabbing as rentals for several years before selling.

It might be worth a follow-up closer to the move-out date to confirm their plans, but avoid excessive contact to prevent escalation.
