Hello from Canada (BC)

Munjal Adhvaryu

Hello Everyone,

I just joined BP to learn about investing in the US from Canada. 

I am super new to real estate investing (never invested) so do not know where to start.

I am primarily interested in cash flow properties to start. I also intend to hold assets for long term.  

I intend to build a portfolio of different property types.  

I already have a Canadian Corporation (CCPC) in British Columbia. I don't know which structure would be best in a scenario like mine. 

I am location agnostic but I'd like to start at some level of positive cash flow. 

For the starters, I would like to know:

- Where to start

- Financing options in The US for Canadian investors

- Markets to look for 

- Realtors/Turnkey services

Feel free to ask along any questions you have for me.

Hi Munjal, I personally love Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here. Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy). I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years. Plus, there's still so many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here in Columbus Ohio. As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!
