If they have potential I would like them to be sent over to a friend of mine (who's in sales and recently got his real estate license, he's got the perfect personality for this) to try and close the seller.

I use MyRental.com for tenant screening with option for them to pay.

Even someone with a one bedroom SEC 8 or HUD VASH voucher has enough budget to rent a 2 bedroom apartment.

Factor in landlord friendly laws, 4 lowest property taxes that don't reassess on the sale and the straight cash flow is not as important.

As cash is low to even invest in another property in Canada - would courses be a viable option to learn Air BNB arbitrage or STR to potentially earn side income  ? 

You have come to the right place.I am an investor-friendly agent and I also live in Wheat Ridge, CO.

I'm currently a buy and hold investor (utilizing various househacks), but I'm hoping to get into the STR space end of this year/early next year.In terms of your financing options, here are some things that come to mind (albeit may or may not apply to your situation):- Utilize second-home loan option (10% downpayment) if the property qualifies- Utilize a small local bank to see what loan options they may offer (perhaps some may have experience lending on STR?

Does the out-of-state investor have an option to have a professional inspection done? 

My general assessments (this year) so far are, most HOAs are not rental investor friendly or have too many restrictions, costs etc. - way too may issues renting, updates, policies, rules, repairs etc.

It doesn't seem this "accelerator program" is offering anything of true value and quite frankly I am surprised someone such as yourself who has 10 years of experience and owns 50 properties would fall for a gimmick.I've had friends and family swindled by the gurus and seminars out there (I've been duped myself before) so I can understand the cynicism, but not every community is just a gimmick.
