Canadian Citizen Looking to Invest in US Real Estate

As the title says, I'm a Canadian citizen who is interested in investing in real estate. I'm interested in rental properties and notes in particular because their liquidity is attractive to me. I've heard of people buying notes from all over the US as well as having rental properties out of state/country. I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way to succeed in notes/rental investing if you're from another country without having a visa/permanent residence status? Also fellow Canadians, feel free to connect with me. Thank you for your time, and have a great day!

hey Ryan, investing here in the US has lots of positive advantages. the first thing I would recommend is contacting a CPA here in the states so they can inform you of some of the hassles associated with buying and selling internationally. one thing you'll have to be familiar with it FIRPTA.

if you have in specific interests for rentals please let me know I would be happy to help you locate something in the Florida market! one of the big things right now is short term rentals (air BRB kinda property) near Disney World here in orlando.

heres a link to some of the FIRPTA info
