You might find the answers to your questions there but I know that the search function is less then optimal so feel free to send me a DM if you don't easily find what you're looking for.I've never bothered commenting much about Canada because, until recently, it made no sense for US investors to invest in Canada: much less favorable mortgage conditions if they could even get one, much more expensive prices on average and much less profitable on average.

Using your example with a $30K profit when the GC is only making $9K, that deal only works because of a favorable arrangement with the GC not because the investment opportunity itself is strong.

These two elements often get overlooked in the excitement of deal-making, but they play a critical role in the long-term success and sustainability of your investment journey.A well-thought-out tax strategy helps ensure you're maximizing all available deductions, utilizing the most favorable tax structures, and ultimately keeping more of your hard-earned income.

Our first experience has been to owner-occupy, as you can get favorable lending (if strickly investment property, may be more costs upfront to get in).

As a client/borrower, I think it's better to be upfront with your ask, instead of anticipating a lender to cut you any favors.

A client of mine just secured a favorable policy with Steadily in Seattle.

Quote from @Jaylin Warner: Well I finally did it I pulled the trigger and bought my first duplex.Well I bought it for 205k but in a c- neighborhood , I know that it's not favorable to buying b or a areas but I can't afford that so I had to buy where I could. 

Again, the reality is that FHA loans are government subprime - they are much more favorable to buyers with worse credit, lower cash, and higher DTI than, say, Conventional conforming loans.

In the beginning of your journey, I'd favor appreciation over cash flow.

@Nicholas StevensonPaying above market value isn’t ideal, but in this case, assuming an existing low-rate mortgage and combining it with favorable seller financing helps offset that premium.
