I absolutely love doing my own research and understanding every aspect possible in order to prepare myself.I have done the majority of my research on purchasing a multi family home as a starter.  

Markets are hot, rates are going up, deals are dried up in most major markets.

As an investor, I have close to 200,000 sq.ft. of industrial space in Toronto, a plaza in Barrie, a 6-plex in Bradford, to name a few properties.As a Real Estate educator and Broker, I advise on everything from how a single family home or condo can be analyzed from an investment perspective, to major income producing properties (retail plaza, medical office buildings, industrial buildings, student housing, multi-family portfolios, etc.).

I'd like to avoid major rehab.

Regardless, the majority of what I'm wanting to do is fix and flips.

All major banks work exclusively through licensed agents so they don't have to negotiate with one-off individuals and to limit liability.  

This is the majority for the mortgage market.

I want to learn more about Real Estate as well as want to become an investor in near future, not only in Pakistan but in major cities of the world. 

This (or something similar) may work for you if you are willing to give up cash flow for a few years to buy out (via the 2nd) your investors quickly, then retain majority ownership. 

I just need a little direction on the process and major thing to look for when searching.
