Hi Aaron, try to attend real estate networking events, join online forums, and connect with other investors through social media platforms like LinkedIn.

I want to put in place some incentives for new tenants and want to know if anyone on BiggerPockets has done something similar.Here are a few ideas I have had:First Month Free: Sign a 13-month lease and get your first month freePets: No pet fee for the first 6 months, year, etcRent Discounts: Offer a discounted rent for the first month or two fortenants who sign a pre-lease agreement before a certain date.Waived Fees: Waive application fees, administrative fees, or securitydeposit for tenants who pre-lease.Free Utilities: Offer to cover utilities such as water, electricity,or internet for a certain period for tenants who sign a pre-lease.Upgrade Packages: Provide upgrades or amenities such as free parking,access to a fitness center, or a smart home package for those whopre-lease.Gift Cards or Vouchers: Offer gift cards or vouchers to localbusinesses such as restaurants, cafes, or grocery stores as a signingbonus.Flexible Lease Terms: Offer flexible lease terms, such as shorterlease lengths or the option to renew at the same rate, to incentivizetenants to pre-lease.Refer-a-Friend Program: Encourage current tenants to refer friends orfamily by offering them a reward if their referral signs a pre-leaseagreement.Early Move-In: Allow tenants who pre-lease to move in a few days earlyat no additional cost.Guaranteed Parking: If parking is limited, offer guaranteed parkingspots for tenants who sign a pre-lease agreement.

I don't think BP will let me post it so just do an internet search "home inspectors Calgary Alberta".

Next, connect and work with an investor-focused agent, preferably, someone who works with house hackers like yourself on a routine basis.

It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.Happy to connect to discuss further.

I connected with a realtor through Bigger Pockets and they helped me navigate the area based on what I was looking for.

The rates for our loans for investors including DSCR loans, Fix-n-Flip Loans, and Ground-Up Spec Construction (as well as the rates for consumer Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA rates) are driven by Treasury Rates as opposed to the Fed Funds rate, but there is a loose connection.

This includes internet research, books, interviewing long time investors, fund managers, brokers.  

Would it be helpful to connect with a local realtor that specializes in selling duplexes and their respective rents/ price per square foot?

Would be happy to help get you connected.
