Canadian buying in the States

[Warren Fanaken]

Hello everyone, I'm a Canadian investor, who has a few properties in the GTA. My goal is to become financially independent as soon as possible and at this point the only way I see that being remotely feasible is to sell one of my properties here and use the cash to buy muti-family properties in the States outright. This is because the 1% rule is virtually impossible to achieve here. I have 2 questions: - Is it advisable to buy the properties in the states under a corporation or in my own name? (how do the taxes work) - Places I'm considering are Birmingham, AL and Atlanta but I wonder if there are more promising cities where one can but C properties in B neighbourhoods for less than 150k (USD)? I realize my questions are quite broad but I appreciate ay information any of you can provide. Thanks
