We have a handful of properties in the cape coral area that we're trying to find cheaper insurance coverage for.

Hello,I'm from Toronto, ON (Canada) and I'm currently trying to understand what the tax implications would be if I were to invest in US multifamily (3-6 units) real estate.

So, now I’m looking for advice on where a new investor should begin in this community—whether it’s podcasts, books, or even specific forums within BiggerPockets.I am really eager to learn, grow, make and learn from my mistakes, take calculated risks and in short dive into this whole heartedly. 

My concern is that there aren't a ton of outside reviews (i.e. those not on the PropertyOnion website), but I don't think the tool has been available for very long (or at least I haven't come across it until recently), so this would explain a lot. 

My big goal for my career if I pursued this would be to be developing commercial real estate projects and building a portfolio of my own real estate investments.  

That's likely the broker trying to get more money at the end.

You'll likely find many in this community willing to share their knowledge, especially with a mutual benefit like that.Start by reaching out to local real estate investment groups or networking events in DFW, as well as connecting with folks here on BiggerPockets who have experience in your target market.

John is right about the enemy method, its the only accurate way to estimate revenue.The blanket estimated revenue amounts on analysis websites like AirDNA can be a decent baseline, but generally include too big a pool of properties to give a very precise estimate.The way I use the enemy method: Sign up for a pricing software that has market analysis (I use PriceLabs but most of the pricing softwares have this feature).

This could range based on how much risk and work you're taking on versus their financial input.The key is to be clear and transparent about expectations, like how profits will be split and who is responsible for what.

I’m not looking to have an active membership with a realtor association at this time.
