The old LLC issue raises its ugly head.

I was born and raised in Canada, but am a non-resident who is self-employed in the U.S. and file all of my taxes in the U.S.

Would this allow the platform to receive commissions for successful capital raises without affiliating with a broker dealer?

Even if you are not there you tenants should be able to ask for his card. 

I am looking to do some fix and flip to raise capital for another one or two 

I have had smoe success finding properties who's rents are lower then market then simply raising the rents.  

Instead of starting at $1.03MM, they reinitiated the offer from last year and raised their ask to $1.07MM.  

What are the best ways to raise the value of a condos & how to the bank or others actually determine the condos value other than supply & demand?

So let's say you do raise rents to $750 like you believe you can (and do check Rentometer to confirm) you're indirectly eliminating the water bill.

We are in a vacation town and airbnb apartments are doing well here) 2BR: $1200 (basement apartment. probably capped at $1200) 3BR: $1700 (potential for raising to $2000) Two 1BRs renting at $875 (we think rent could easily be $1000-$1100) Taxes $9300 (ughh, Vermont) Insurance $1600 (might be a little more since we'd be owner occupied and current owner is not) Heat $1878 (current owner pays heat- place has new windows and new insulation in basement apartment.
