I have worked with several clients in a tax capacity who are involved in informal partnerships.

Connecting with brokers and agents can open up new opportunities for business, especially in the private and hard money lending space.If you’re open to it, I’d love to discuss how we might collaborate or share insights on deals.

My initial question, does anyone know what's involved to invest in a US market as Canadians?

However Id like to know what are some data points and minimum criteria you look at in a market (like a 1% job growth YoY) to feel informed on your decision making processalso if you go to the area what are some things you look for physically that would be a good sign 

I currently have a HELOC with Wells Fargo for an investment property I own in Brooklyn, NY, which the draw period will be expiring.

The biggest challenge I can see for this is that I hear it's a pain in the *** for the seller to go through a local community bank and confirm their income for their approval for a mortgage, and there are local/community banks that will approve 95-100% LTV loans based on how profitable the deal is.

Thanks in advance!

@Rolando DeLeon Are your rentals based in WI or somewhere else? 

As it says in the title, I am new to real estate.

I looked for posts on this in the forums and didn't come across any (might not have been typing in the right search words).
