Try Investors Performance Group (IPG) or Real Estate Action Group (REAG). They both have in person investor focused monthly meetings. For a more social group, try Vancouver Real Estate Investors meetup.

Hi Jhonny,
Welcome to BP.
Ask lots of questions.
If you are interested in Vancouver B.C. try attending a zoom meeting from Mogul Mastermind every last Wednesday of the month. (Google Mogul Mastermind)

Hi TK,
Try looking up Mogul Mastermind. It is all RE investor focused. Offices in Edmonton and Vancouver. The next meeting is November 29th, 2023 5:30 pm PST / 6:30 pm MST.
You can go in person if you are in Edmonton or by zoom if elsewhere.
Cheers

for LTR, lookup Padmapper or Zumper. Enter your address and 1+1 bed/bath and take a look a the photos and asking of units near your location, or even better, units in your building. You should be able to narrow down your range.

Welcome to BP Jefferson.
You need to give more background on the project. Do you already own the unit? If it is a condo in Vancouver, you should start with getting a copy of the Strata Bylaws and see what you can do without requiring the Strata's approval. ie. anything that involves structure, plumbing, electrical and needs a permit will likely need the SoW you describe and it to be approved by the Strata before you can proceed.
In my opinion, you are going at this backwards. You should have a fixed budget, and a list of items that you really need to fix and those that you want to fix. You also want to consider what items on the list will give you the biggest lift and highest ARV.
From the way you ask the question, it seems like you have a bottomless pocket full of $.
Best thing for you to do is to keep asking questions. You also need a plan B for not being able to exit or flip the unit. We are going into a rising interest rate environment, which may make it difficult for new borrowers to purchase your unit. (reduce the pool of buyers)

Thank you everyone for the great info!
@Nathan Chase would definitely be interested in discussing markets! PM'ed you.
@Joe Zabawa Thank you for the recommendations! It looks like each of them specialize in helping cross-border real estate investors. Definitely going to interview a few of them.
For those based in the Vancouver, BC area, would anyone like to do a meetup to discuss cross-border investing?
Welcome to BP.
I use/recommend Larson Gross in Bellingham for my US Tax filings.

Thanks for all the tips. I use Craigslist all the time and never thought of putting a watermark on the photos.
