What’s your top goal for 2025? 

Otherwise, selling and using the proceeds to scale your portfolio locally could accelerate your long-term goals.

My main goal is to find something relatively close to the DMV area but without the DMV price tag.

I like the idea of using a HELOC over a personal loan and going with option 2, but it depends on what your goals are.

Hey @Amit Garg happy to help out with this as I'm pretty familiar with the various programs in Canada, as I've built quite a network over the past 10 years with investors across Canada and hear a lot of things.I think it would be best to jump on a call and talk about it.Without knowing more about you and your goals, it's hard to give a recommendation.

@Garry LawrenceDevin Moreno has a bunch of videos on rent-by-the-room strategy in Baltimore on hisYoutube channel.

Right now it feels like we are aimlessly investing, and it makes it hard to see the end goal and even harder to see how to get there.   

It’s a smart move, especially since it ties in with your goal of saving for your first investment.For skills, you probably already have a good foundation with your sales experience—things like communication, organization, and dealing with clients are all super valuable.

It’s flexible—you can invest in rentals, commercial properties, or syndications—but managing it requires careful attention to avoid prohibited transactions.In comparison, a SEP IRA offers tax-deferred growth, which might be better if you expect a lower tax rate in retirement, but it doesn’t avoid UDFI tax on leveraged properties or allow borrowing.Before investing, check if SDIRA Wealth aligns with your goals and review their track record.

A couple thoughts on your question:I tell our STR investors in Colorado that their main goal should be to set up the right way right out of the gate.
