You can drive around town looking for properties that looks distressed, put up signs, let your friends/family know you buy houses, look online, etc. 

He told me that his family growing up was quite poor - he grew up in government subsidized housing.

This will be a vacation home for my family and a STR when not in use by us. 

There are two important things to remember here: first, you cannot selectively pick tenants without children, as that is discrimination against families in the state of Massachusetts, and second, you really need to make sure you can afford to complete the lead removal prior to listing it.

Hey guys I am investing in Dallas Forth-Worth & Tampa area Long term rentals and I’m doing section 8 also , I am getting property with hard money loan , remodel them, and  then re fi them for 30 years , I put around 45-65K for each property I have 4 properties that cash flowing $300, $500, $1000, $250 per month I wanted to get into Multi Family - 4 plex, 6 plex and up even 8-12 units as first deal.  

I have found a family member that's willing to give me a loan for a rental property.

I'm looking to build a 2500 sq ft two level ecofriendly single-family home which incorporates natural surrounding into the design, I'm trying to figure out what my cost should be for architectural plans: elevation, floor plan, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, etc.  

My goal is to make 75K annually within a year through the acquisition of multi-family properties.

STRs that I could use for personal use (family vacations) once or twice a year.  

Buying a single family home in BC. where the average price is $976,400 would require an income of $194,087 and at 20% down you'd need $194k down.
