Your comments are always spot on.Canada is the land of "free" healthcare, but it also is the land of taxes on worldwide income ...so @Dennis Marcelo you should connect with a CPA or a tax practitioner that is familiar with the Canada/US tax convention.

Keep in mind most of us work with clients worldwide.

CA taxes residents on worldwide income but may provide a credit for taxes paid to other states.

Google, McDonald's worldwide headquarters have moved here and a lot of tech & new start-up companies.https://www.businessinsider.com/most-influential-cities-in-the-world-2018-5#8-chicago-illinois-14https://www.americaninno.com/chicago/newsletters/chicago-just-jumped-in-a-ranking-of-tech-hubs-worldwide/Yes, property taxes are high, and, in the end, the tenants carry that burden, not the landlords.And let's not forget, Chicago is one of the top travel destinations in the World, so there is a lot of money to be made in AIRBNB if you like that route, plus as you actually moving in this town, as you are also going to live your life where you move - as a traveler, you'll appreciate a city that you'll totally enjoy with lots of public transportation, world quality art, architecture, music, sports, parks, restaurants, etc.https://www.chicagotribune.com/travel/ct-trav-chicago-rankings-20191231-20191226-azdidiyibrfu5h6wwyyntbq5c4-story.htmlGook luck to you!

Not even when we encountered naysayers (did I mention all of this was going on in the midst of a worldwide pandemic that hit the senior living industry HARD??) 

A lot of people want to live in New York and not pay NY State income taxes and as a result look for ways to scheme the system.I assume some would live in NY, buy a vacation home in Florida but claim Florida to be their resident state.The difference between a resident/non-resident of new york is that if you are considered a resident of New York - you have to report worldwide income on your NY Tax Return.Non-residents only have to pay tax on income that is earned within the state.If your only activity in New York is being a limited partner in a fund that invests in property in Syracuse - you will be considered a non-resident and only report the income from the partnership to New York.

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

Certified Acceptance Agents are located worldwide.

“Listing on a marketplace like Revnest ensures that your property is seen by the right people, increasing the chances of a successful sale and fewer days on market.”The platform is free for buyers and sellers to use worldwide.

@Daniella Lamis I'm partial to Orlando for many obvious reasons (year round great climate, huge area growth, #1 vacation destination worldwide, theme parks, close to beaches, awesome airport/transporation, close to several cruise ports etc...) there are variable that you will need to understand to make the most of your cash flow, but we've got it all.
