:Quote from @Jimmy Lieu:Have tons of examples of deals that hit the 1% rule and positive cash flow.

Here are a few active examples and sales we think demonstrate investment value: North Coast: 3 Bedrooms / 4 Bathrooms / 4032SF on 1.6 Acres with custom architecture.

Send me a PM and I'll send you a couple of examples of what is on the market outside of Atlanta so you can run your numbers and see if that fits.

Most do a LLC but again it can be very different - for example I have a C corporation, had a S corp, had a LLC etc. and each one for very unique and different situations. 

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.

Example: You have a 3-Family Building that has 3bedrooms 1bathroom on each of the three floors - 9Bedrooms 3Bathrooms Three Living Rooms Three Kitchens.

I'm going to reiterate what's already been mentioned above, but I'm going to actually give you examples of why it's relevant to you to find a U.S. tax professional.1 - You're going to need to file U.S. taxes once you have property down here, there's federal filings, state filings, and sometimes local filings too2 - Tons of tax treaties between the U.S. and Canada that are easy to miss and can cost you a lot of money (important one with rentals - effectively connected income - if the professional you talk to doesn't know what this is, run away)3 - The amount of days you spend in the U.S. needs to be tracked and if you go over a threshold, all of your worldwide income could be taxable by the U.S.4 - Selling real property means up to 15% of your sales proceeds might not be available to you for years (FIRPTA)5 - Lots of nuance at the state and local levels, which both want to take as much money from you as possibleMain takeaway here is that you should find a U.S. based tax person.

For example, my appliance store gives me a 10% discount, so I charge a 5% markup to my owners to make a little money and the owner still saves 5% from retail. 

For example, a property in San Diego may lose $500 per month ($6,000 per year) but gain $60,000 per year in value, making it worthwhile to "lose" money each month in exchange for long-term gains.I recommend you start with BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide (free).

For example, in my market, we see MF building permits way down for the last 2-3 years.
