I just saw how many replies were on this thread, so I figured I'd sit back and eat my popcorn and read everything :)

@Cole Black  Your best bet is to "House Hack" into a 4-plex. The only problem is I don't know anything about Canadian Lending. Youre so young, and Im assuming you dont have a wife and kids... You can easily house hack into a 4-plex.

Looks very nice in the end! This was a huge learning experience for you!

We need to see the video...for research Purposes... 

@Brandon Penn Awesome story man. Congrats! I am only at 3 units (2 buildings), but I am trying to keep pushing forward. I was just starting to feel unmotivated before I read your post, and now you gave me some inspiration. Thank you!

@Justin Windham Bro can you take the words "buy and hold" out of your copy and paste please? You are blowing up my keyword alerts everyday

Don't forget about JBER! The military provides a lot of renters for us on the eastside :) 

@Alexander Felice I think you mean "dawg" ... "dog" is an insult lol ;)

@Damian T Heairet Yeah you hit the jackpot here on Bigger Pockets. I stumbled up on this website 3 years ago, and what an adventure its been. Since stumbling on the page, I've acquired a fixer upper duplex here in ANC that cash flows, as well as successfully completed a BRRRR (The link to my BRRRR post is on my profile). My net worth has jumped up a lot too, due to the Bigger Pockets Money show, and my rentals. Anyway, There is the REX group (Real estate exchange) here in Anchorage (I've only gone a couple times), and there is the "landlords almanac" group that meets once a month also. The landlord group is more for helping you deal with rentals units, but a lot of other investors go there too. Anyway, good luck to you!

@Bryan Beal In my market talking SFR's, only the best of the best deals can you get %1 on. If you bought a retail $300,000 house here, you would be able to rent it for around $2000-$2200/mo. So you need to buy super cheap in order to hit %1. I've acquired only 1 property that hit the %1 rule in my area. My general rule of thumb is cash-flow $100+ each unit. That's much easier in my market than hitting the %1 rule.
