Hello,I have invested in a few rental properties in my small Canadian home town and the rules/prices/undesirable areas make it harder to invest in Canada.  

G'Day Zach,There will always be great deals in any market as long as you look/work hard enough.For example, we buy various lists like evictions, probate and tax delinquent just to name a few.We offer low, negotiate hard, close with cash and close quickly.This enables us to buy 1 out of let's say 100 for 30 cents on the dollar.As the saying goes "The more mud you throw on the wall, eventually some will stick"Lot's of cold calls and chasing but it's my full time gig and that's what I do 🤷‍♂️I have always believed that "Cash is King" and you don't have it.Wait till you do.Just my 2 cents.As you will see mentioned many times in the forum, Ohio has great cashflow.So does, Michigan and Indiana IMO.You will probably find the most cashflow in these markets and if you look even further within these markets you can snag great deals in tertiary cities of those states.Wishing you much success

Tenant friendly laws in Cali, high prices, etc, makes it seem undesirable to me.

But, many times the children do not want their parents' name dragged through the mud of foreclosure lawsuits or foreclosure notices, and are also fearful that it might affect their inheritance in any other assets, such as cash or other real estate. 

I've seen gentrification spread right up to a block of S8 buildings, and then go around that block leaving it right where it was and will probably always be (undesirable).
