HI we are Canadians and do a lot of creative financing  in the US more then willing to share how we do it with anyone who wants to chat

Not sure about PA, but in NY if there are any lights in common areas the landlord needs a separate meter - you can just go count the meters on the house, if there are 5 then you know there is one for common areas.I wouldn’t use cap rates for a four unit, use comparable properties if possible.

Equity is the whole reason you invest in CA.

I'm planning to actively pursue my first investment property in January and am interested in a BRRRR strategy.

I like the idea of it and would be open to giving it a try in my area.

@bobstevens is into the S8 thing, hopefully he'll check in.

It takes a very long time to even get in the ballpark.

I found out from the seller that 2 of the units pay through cash app, 2 are on Section 8, and the rest they pick up in cash.

I’m now at a point where I feel ready to start investing in real estate.
