Im Canadian but because of the failing market here, I’d really like to put my money into the US market.

I'd like to get into a duplex or something, but don't want to live at the property.

With local home and land prices so expensive, I'd like to explore building a Tri or FourPlex on the back half of the lot. 

- I'd recommend you look into a cash-out refinance for a situation like this.

I can't relate to that so I'd suggest doing what you need to do 

Im looking for rental or flip deals in 100K-150K and I'd love to connect, hear and share recommendation of areas to invest and professionals to work with.Please feel free to send a DM.Thanks and Good Luck to all of us,Itai

My attorney charged a significantly lower settlement fee but if I didn't use Lennar Title, then I'd forfeit my incentives... a practice I despise among builder's lenders, but this is how they trap you into using their AfBAs.
