Thanks for the input everyone, I appreciate it.  I'm going to sell my property in the UK in 6months time when the tenancy expires, so I'm going to use that time to investigate markets further out (Of which the KWC/Hamilton area area definitely on my radar).

In the mean time I'm going to buy something more local, to get more experienced with the process and hopefully make it easier.  Very interested to learn more of the Vancouver Island market, along with Abbotsford and Kelowna - So if anyone has experiences/numbers I'd love to hear them.

Thanks @Stanley Kong.  Will look more into Abbotsford - Current ideas for local-ish areas were Kelowna or possibly Vancouver Island

Thanks Rhondalette :)

Bump for this. Would love to meet you all and chat!

Hi folks!

First post here - Have been lurking for about a week, since I discovered this forum. Loving it as a resource so far!So, brief background - English guy living in Vancouver. I want to BRRR a few places to hopefully have 10+ over the next few years.

I have a place in the UK that I'm going to sell and use the money to invest. The Vancouver market has such a high market price I'm looking at areas in Ontario, however from reading here I see that it's easier to hit the 1-2% rent 'rule' in the US and as I could potentially transfer my GBP money to CAD or USD it got me wondering about investing in the States instead.If you were in my position and likely have to get teams together that aren't remotely local, what would you do?Also, if anyone has recommendations of areas local-ish to Vancouver that have a lower cost of entry and good for rental, I'd love to hear options.
