(especially Montreal/Laval)Here is a bit of background, my partner and I have been looking for our first property (single-family) and due to the pandemic lockdown being slowly lifted there has been a surge of demand for houses in our target neighborhood.We are looking for a place that needs work and this hasn't seemed to reduce the competition in the area, the last two properties we went to see had 3-4 other offers by other DIY investors like myself willing to pay (almost) top dollar for properties needing lots of rehab.

My background is in construction: building condos, townhomes, apartment buildings, and custom homes.

This is my first post so I am very excited and thankful to have the opportunity to pose my questions to such a wide audience.As a little bit of background information, I am currently a senior at the University of Georgia, and am looking to get involved in real estate investing in the Athens/Metro Atlanta, Georgia area. 

The beauty about being an independent is that you can affiliate or partner with almost anyone on short notice and then decide who you want to work with.But, assuming your optimism meets with success, you will want a marketer who handles social media and generates leads.

I found a few units that need some work, I'm not scared of that because coming from a construction background and I do have some people that would help me.The owner is open to Seller Finance and is asking 165k - the owner wants me to offer him what I can pay.Of course, I wanna offer as little cash as possible that way I could do some fix-ups.My goal is to offer a deal that won't scare away, it's 7 units for a price of 165k altogether, 2 of them are rented at $650 and $700 a month and the rest have been rented but now are vacant because they need some work, but as the owner says it is in liveable condition.

The right attorney with a real estate, lending and bankruptcy background can help you.

My plan is to use the BRRRR strategy on 1-4 unit properties due to my experience building, rehabbing and my background in HVAC.

Here is my background.

For screening, some things your should make sure to stringently check are credit history, rental history, income/employment verification and a criminal background check.
