Investing in Montreal from the USA

[Rob Bianco]

I am exploring potential markets to invest in as I diversify my real estate holdings and I'm curious if it makes any practical sense to look into investing in Canada (specifically Montreal) from the USA? I'm unsure of the tax implications, how the language barrier would affect me, and whether that market is worth diving into.

Montreal is the nearest large Canadian city to me and I have a few friends there as well. I'm mostly interested in either BRRRR or Flips and I likely would buy cash - although I'm also unsure how I would refinance and cash out on a property.

Thanks for any info
