My question is, should I get an associate brokers license as a way to make side income, (or Main Income) as I invest in properties, or would it get in the way if it becomes my main source of income? 

I’m hoping to learn from people who have done this before — mainly around financing, taxes, and choosing the right market since I’ll be managing everything from Canada.What lenders work best with Canadians, and what down payments or rate premiums should I expect as a foreign investor?

The main things I'm looking for are a good APY (SoFi is currently at 3.6%) and the ability to section off money into multiple accounts or buckets.I tried Baselane but the advertised APY there doesn't kick in until you have 50k sitting in the bankI was thinking about Axos potentially but the bucket feature doesn't appear to be there and a bunch of people on reddit (I know) say it's the worst bank everBluevine is only 1.3% on the standard planDoes anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Not if your bookings come mainly from Vrbo. 

My main interests right now are buy-and-hold, BRRRR, flipping, and multifamily investing.I’m looking to connect with investors, agents, lenders, and property managers who are active in the Nashville area.

The only thing that offsets capital gains is capital losses.If your main goal is avoiding capital gains when freeing up cash for a down payment, you might want to look at alternative strategies — for example, using a loan against a life insurance policy or borrowing against your investment portfolio.

My listing needs to stay private, so I’m mainly looking for strategic guidance from folks who’ve successfully navigated similar HOA constraints or tight rental caps.If you’ve dealt with:• HOA-managed rental waitlists• Navigating rental caps/quotas• Private tenant placement while staying compliant• City permitting requirements tied to leasing…I’d love to hear how you approached it.

The other side of the easement accesses a main road and should be utilized.

Prices are mainly flat around the median price point.
