We are Canadians eyeing up the market in the USA and looking to start investing in properties across the border. 

probably the same in NY but was looking for others experiences.

Are you looking for guide and advise of an expert on the market or a pass through agen?

I often share this story with potential clients, investors, and those looking to start their real estate investment journey.

This is the structure we were looking at which is more of a subsidiary structure and this applies to raw land development: 📌 Structuring Plan1️⃣ Set up a QOF to raise capital from investors.2️⃣ Create a QOZB to handle hotel & parking development (each separate land parcels).3️⃣ QOF owns the land & funds QOZB for development.4️⃣ Raise capital through QOF equity, bank loans, or JV partners.5️⃣ Develop the projects & operate for 10+ years for tax-free gains.

Finding a trustworthy contractor is crucial as I build my team remotely.I'm looking for a contractor who:Has experience with full-scale renovations.Is reliable, communicative, and meets deadlines.Can provide references from past clients.Is familiar with Birmingham's permitting and inspection processes.Any recommendations or insights you can provide would be immensely helpful in building my team.Thank you for your time and expertise!

I want to keep away from any short cuts , I am not looking to take large cuts from sellers (I’m a true agent at heart and looking to serve my clients) .

Another option is to look into some funds as well that allow smaller investments. some are anywhere from 500-$10,000 minimums and accept non accredited investors (through regulation a+).If you ran numbers of a loan paying p&i at 10% but ot being able to reinvest the principal payments you realize how low your returns actually are. so yes notes are great but also understand that idle money for any investment is not fun.

That sounds like something I'd be interested in looking at as well. 

I'm looking at investing in land development with them with 14% return.
