Prices for multifamily is quite high in bc but not much that can be done about that. 

@Luke Morris TamneyI would open a high-interest savings or money market account, specifically for real estate investing, and save it there.

It would be difficult to provide a reasonable amount for annual repairs without knowing the size or unit count of the building, but I know if you had to renovate a unit or the building, the investors I work with use $120-150/sqft depending on the extension of the renovation project and how high-end finishes you would use.

Am a dual citizen (US & Portugal) and work remote, have been considering investing in Porto, Portugal (highly touristy area that has been growing tremendously not only in value, but in tourism) where my family is from or getting a multifamily here in the states (currently live in the tri-state area).

I've found more success investing locally, even in high cost of living areas. 

I honestly belief that investors should stop looking for specic catagoeries/situations of people to find houses to buy, and instead focus on motivation (regardless is their house is vacant, tax liened, foreclosure etc. etc.)Do you really care that you get a vacant house deal, or do you care that you find a high profit deal regardless whether it is a vacant house or not?

The existing lender wasn't willing to hold any of the debt.I considered offering to just take them at their debt value but it was too high. 

With this rates so high I’m not Looking for make Money out of it, more to pay it’ self. my down payment will be around 40% to make the number work.
