There is also a vast distinction between "social benefits" for citizenry (which exist in both our countries), a "socialist nation" (which neither Canada or the U.S.A. are) and corporate welfare (which is alive and well in both our countries).I invite you to step outside the keyword stuffing echo-chamber in which all your existing participation on BP has been and participate in the larger community  - it would be an opportunity to learn about your neighbours.

Best to speak to someone with first hand experience in the jurisdiction where you are thinking of participating.

Attending multiple local REIN groups.Actively participating in local REIN FB discussion group.

The other thing I would add is to participate in the forums and watch who you think seems to know what they're doing.

I am not a young 20 something so I have been intimidated in participating in some of the seminars out there because I didn't want to seem stupid.

Passive Equity Investors get to Leverage 2 important things:1) The Like-minded Passive Equity Investors and together participate in purchasing more doors vs buying a SFR alone…2) A Team of Trusted Operators!

I dropped my participation in the program because they kept finding ridiculous problems and then they stop payment if you don't fix all of them on time.
