@Drew Sygit Thanks so much for the helpful information!

No joke my wife and I have purchase businesses from properties we own becuase they have so much equity.   

If so, you might be able to make a unit which functionally does not make sense into a normal 2 or 3 bedroom unit.

Instead, I would work together on a side hustle and see how fast you can stack cash so you both can go out and buy multi families.

Vacant lots can go for as little as $5000 - $7500 and are usually between other houses so you at least know utilities should be on or near your site. 

So there’s a lot of noise.

Yes, this is as niche as it gets, so odds are slim, but I'm curious to hear if anyone else lives on some acreage while boarding other horses on your property?

Hard stop.I agree that Hubspot is the easiest to use and it's free so well worth the no cost to play with that with under 1,000 leads.RESimpli is something you could upgrade to as you get moving.

So wondering whether there is a Visa for Canadians investing in US. 

Let people know where you need help and investors in those cities, in most cases There are a lot of good people here who will try and help if they can and will do so without taking advantage of you.
