 Chris:

As one of the longer-term Canadian BP members, I originally subscribed as "Pro" member to support Josh and his idea of BP.  There were only a single handful of us in those days and nothing on the site addressed Canada.

These days there is a whole set of Canadian forums (one for each province/territory and a national forum).

The BP calculators can be loosely applied to real estate in Canada, the financing will be sightly different here, but the results are close enough for initial triage.

There have been a few Canadian properties listed in the Marketplace.

The existing set of "Pro-perks" are almost exclusively U.S.A. oriented at this point.   Similar partnerships could be established in Canada, but BP would need someone {in Canada} to pitch and secure those partnerships.

Any recommendation for some of those good Canadian forums? Specifically Ontario, and National? THANK YOU!

Post: Incorporating / Asset Protection in Canada

To any Canadian Real Estate Investors, just wondering if you have any recommendations/tips, on whether or not I need to incorporate to protect my real estate portfolio.

I hear a lot of the American investors say, don't own properties in your own name, and it is quite easy to setup an LLC, or S-corp series to protect assets (and get tax benefits).

I don't hear a lot from a Canadian perspective however. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
