Hi,I have been investing in Securities for a while, but I would like to start building a portfolio of Real Estate Positive Cash Flowing Properties in Ontario (Hamilton, Barrie, Oshawa, or Toronto).

I'm open to suggestions on this one.I've started "virtually walking" the street of a property I'm interested in with Google Maps.

The full agenda is available within the registration platform, but you can find the agenda at a glance here: https://biggerpockets.getregistered.net/conference-2024/agen...We are also adding a cornhole and beach volleyball tournaments on Sunday starting at 2 PM to provide additional activities for fun and networking for attendees! 

When people here send me private messages or ask me on a call, one of the many things I'd tell them if they want to buy pre-construction is to check the developer's construction license and that it complies with the zoning rules (and I'll tell them if I know what those are).You woudn't believe the amount of people that are ready to put a sizeable amount of cash on the table but won't spend the little extras needed to make sure they don't lose it.

 Looking for some insight on a few things before starting construction on my first rental property!

For example, some cities have started capping the number of short-term rentals allowed, while certain HOAs impose fees that can significantly cut into your margins.For out-of-state investments, having a trustworthy property management team that understands local laws and has good relationships with HOAs can make all the difference.

Last, none of us want to wait for SEO to take hold until we start turning deals, so that's where I'll usually do Google PPC, PPL, or a form of offline marketing to fill in the gaps while SEO picks up. 

As mentioned earlier, only a few mortgage types can be truly assumed, mainly FHA and VA loans.Yes, if you only are making over the payments then the debt stays with the seller and transferring the title to you is more complicated.In the end, the starting point is making sure the numbers work.

And as the buyer (my colleague) is now getting closer to closing it's starting to look like it might be worth just cleaning the place out and doing a very low cost rehab (paint, pressure wash and handyman repairs) for a quick sale.

It's important to understand if this can be corrected or if you are putting off the decision to lose the liability which only costs you more time and money.
