A lifelong friend and I are motivated to (virtually) meet and connect with those in REI working in the Pittsburgh area.I'm active duty military and living in California with two rental properties (one in Virginia Beach & one in Pittsburgh) and my close friend owns a single family in Baltimore.  

@Patricia Andriolo-BullStessa is an excellent platform for tracking income and expenses for investors; it is user-friendly.

And that my friend, is why my 1.2M is legit sitting still lol Dont want to make the wrong decision! 

I had a friend purchase a Vacation home financed with RBC last year. 

While some agents have legitimate pocket listings (like selling between friends or family members), without a presence on major platforms, it's difficult to verify legitimacy.

I funded this with US cash, as well as a loan with a Canadian bank.I have shared this process with many friends and other real estate buddies that commended my journey.

One of my friend happens to be a RE agent, landlord and a property manager himself and he seems to feel that as long as she pays rent on time and does not create nuisance, not to worry much and just keep do a quarterly property inspection.

Talk to friends and neighbors and ask them who do they know that wants to be in the area.I think you can find someone to wrap your mortgage to at or just above your loan balance and maybe a point or two higher than your mortgage.

The owner is friend of mine, really good dude.

I'm not sure if that is because they are considering it lots of little repairs so it doesn't fall within the guide line or what.
