Looking forward to legal advice for LLC opening. any referrals who have experience with international investors? 

I wanted to reach out to see if anyone with experience could give me some insight to the current market.

They may be able to give you some input and feedback based on their experience. 

I believe that the knowledge and experiences shared in this community will be invaluable, and I am eager to learn from all of you.I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to connect with fellow investors, especially those in the Vancouver area or anyone who started their journey in similar circumstances.

Most of the OOS markets investors target do not have much appreciation potential, are lower end properties that will have ongoing issues and will not give the OP the opportunity to self manage his units to gain true real estate experience and understanding.

He didn't have the experience I did and thought he would "surprise me" with such a great deal.

Can you create a unique experience for your gusts to get to 75% occupancy? 

I do not have much of my own capital to use to purchase a property and was recently given the advice to either utilize private money to purchase a property or do a few home flips to build my own capital.Does anybody have any advice and/or experience starting out with either of these two methods?

I would love to get some advice from locals or any real estate expert with experience in Maryland on the best locations (cities, neighborhoods, etc) to buy this type of property at a fair price.Thanks in advance!
