Canadian looking to invest in US market

[Account Closed]

I am relatively new to the rental industry. Currently have one property here in Canada but I’m looking into the US because it’s hard to find a deal here in Canada that makes sense.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience doing this and how they set it all up. Taxes, LLC or C Corp, etc.

Is it easier to just put my money into a REIT that invests on the US? What about property management? Is it worth the risk/reward investing south of the border for Canadians?

Any advice would be great. Thanks

@Adam Ellis I have been looking at the US for the same reason. Take your time because the Canadian market is very different to the cash flowing markets in the States. In most markets that have strong cash flow you should assume no appreciation which is counter to many Canadian markets. It depends on your situation but often Canadians invest using a US LP for both tax and liability reasons but you need someone with knowledge of your specific situation.
