Hi @Amr Tammam,
I have to agree with @Casey Maeda. Needless to say, i'm sure there are good deals everywhere including Saint John. However, it feels like you're going there for the wrong reasons (i.e. cheaper units or ease of financing). My suggestion to you is to invest where you feel makes sense for your short and long term goals. Are you Looking for 100 doors in an appreciating and stable market in the next 5 years? I would say Montreal, and more specifically south shore, that's where i'm focused, hence why i'm pro Montreal :). Are you looking for quick flips? high cash flow? maybe Saint John would make sense especially if you can buy it all cash like you said.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Ron,
I live in Montreal too.
Wholesalers can get you access to distressed properties. You should speak to @Jabbar Thomas for Florida. Just be ready, it's alot of work to do this type of work remotely. You should read @David Greene's book to get educated on long distance investing.
Also, i have 3 properties that are "distressed" that i can sell to you if you're looking for rehab projects but not in florida.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

@Dan Weber@Ronan Donnelly@Michael Ablan@Braden C. @Roy N. Really appreciate all your responses! Any tips on how to gain credibility when approaching these brokers and appraisers (as it is my first deal)? Also, how should I prove that I have potential investors for the project? I doubt my investors will sign on anything before I bring them a potential deal. Thanks again
Oren,
What are you trying to do with the investors? Are you trying to wholesale the deal? or is it a joint venture with other investors? I think if you clarify the model you have in mind, we can help you better.
Cheers
