Rental Opportunity in British Columbia, Canada while living in The US

[André Palmer]

Hello everyone! I have a few questions about renting out a property in another country. I currently reside in The States but my family has acquired a property from another family member located in British Columbia, Canada. We want to do whatever we can to keep it in the family since it has huge sentimental value to us. The problem is that The Public Guardian & Trust sent us a notice stating the house needs to be sold soon. I’m sure if we could prove to them that the home is indeed an investment and we’re not just trashing it they would have to reconsider.

Is anyone familiar with this kind of situation?

How hard is it to rent out a home from another country? Is it as simple as finding a solid property management company to take care of most everything?

Thanks in advance for any input, we’re in a really stressed situation with very little time.
