I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and have recently embarked on my journey as a real estate investor.I aim to build a solid foundation in real estate investing that allows me to achieve financial freedom.

I attended the Webinar today with David, and really enjoyed it.

You can find something that is livable, but you can upgrade over time while you live there.

In those cases, if the market goes down, you are willing to hold long enough for the market to rebound.My second piece of advice is to only buy properties that you would live in yourself.  

NC BP Team,Could use your advice. Doing some research in 2-3 states and wondering what are the best areas in your state to look at properties for purchase that would encompass most of these:-Ability to get a few acres...

Please comment/connect with me if you are a:- Property Manager- Hard Money Lender- Contractor- Tax Professional/Accountant- Insurance Agent- Real Estate Attorney- Financial Advisor- Meetup Organizer- Wholesaler- Other InvestorI live in Scottsdale so hope to connect with people local to the Phoenix area, but always open to connect with other people in the state or even nationally!

The math works out online and tenants already live in these buildings so I know they are liveable; that said, I have not visited the homes or made contact with the sellers. 

Just that I wanted a house to live in.

I currently lean toward upstate NY and MI (Detroit metro) as I live in the west but have family in Canada not far from those locations and the idea of being able to visit family with trips that can double as business write-offs is appealing.

(It’s worth the furniture if you want it.)Think of it this way. 1)Lots of cities ar banning STR, o requiring you live in the house while it’s being rented out, or limiting you to a few months.
