Hello everyone,I'm a real estate investor based in Toronto, Canada.

Hi Everyone,I'm a Chef by profession looking to purchase my first real estate investment property in 2025. 

Good evening,I purchased a townhome in Houston, Texas in August 2020, locked in at a 3% rate with a low 5% down payment on a conventional loan for $284k. 

Every day, the Chemical Plants (Dow, Shintech, etc.) and residential neighborhoods that surround the site of this location provide a high traffic count.A great opportunity exists for a tenant that is willing to market their business to travelers of Hwy. 1, the residents in the surrounding neighborhoods, and neighboring communities.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

The loan approval is based on the property’s rental income covering the mortgage—making it easier for investors without traditional income streams to qualify.LLC Protection: Many DSCR lenders allow you to hold the property in an LLC.

Also, our property is 10x the size of most in the city at 1.75 acres.
