Much better rent to value dealsPotential for better cash flowsCash flows will be in US dollars US already has had a correction and Canada is due for oneLarger networkCons:- Have to consult a cross border accountant, lawyer and tax specialist which can be pricey(Quoted to be 350-1200$)- If you buy a property in the US personally without an entity there is a 30% tax u have to pay which can be circumvented by filing US tax and claiming the rental income- Will probably need to buy an LLC or LLP(im still learning the difference with these two) and dont know what situations would benefit the best for this. - The exchange rate is bad for Canadians which some people point out if you repatriate the income from US it will be gobbled up by the FX people here in Canada and may benefit CRA and IRS which im also trying to sort out how.

My name is Femi Otuyelu, and i'm a cash flow consultant.

I had been intrigued by real estate as an asset class when working in Moscow in the early 90s, knowing many ex-pats who were making large fortunes in the arbitrage of being able to buy buildings for thousands of dollars, spend tens of thousands of dollars rehabbing them and then sell them for hundreds of thousands and millions to other ex-pats and the consulting firms they were working for.

We are a full service real estate consulting firm that integrates economic development, investment services, equity financing, and process management for optimum efficiency.
