Beginner-Friendly US Real Estate Markets for Canadians!!

[Johnson Yu]

Hello to all Canadians real estate investors on BiggerPockets! I am just getting started as a beginner real estate investor located in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I would like to reach out to fellow investors who have experience in cross-border investing, specifically as a Canadian investing in US real estate. After doing some research, I have learned that there are "landlord friendly" states that are more suitable for buy/hold investors. These states can include Texas, Indiana, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama and Michigan... just to name a few. My question is that which state / cities would you guys recommend to dive deeper for a first time buy and hold Canadian investor in the US?
