@Jonathan HeinzThere still opportunities to be found in the Maritimes: less so in the mid-sized and up apartment buildings, but in the residential space (1 - 4 units) and small (<16) apartment buildings.  

Granted, this number is skewed by a few metropolitan markets {Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton}, but even here in the "relatively poor" Maritime Provinces the average house price is ~$175K (up 5.7% year over year)As of 2011 {last year of published data}, median family income in Canada was $72,240 and average family income was slightly higher at 79,600 ... the trend over the last decade has been keeping par with inflation.

@Chris NordsveenIn the Maritimes, where things move a little more slowly, most buy-and-hold investments are predominately cash flow plays - the Halifax region being a possible exception.In places like Moncton and Saint John you can achieve returns >12%, but you need to  know the market and the area - sometimes the distance of 1-2 blocks can be the difference between a good deal and a nightmare.

Places like the Maritime Provinces saw 3x price increases as people left downtown Toronto and Vancouver during the pandemic thinking remote work was going to be permanent.

I also work/volunteer with a maritime based youth program here in Tacoma.My immediate interest is to get a couple wholesales accomplished, squash the initial fears of starting anything new and create some capital to purchase a rental property for some cash flow.

@Danielle Jones100+ year old properties are common here in the Maritimes and we have a few.One of our primary objectives is to improve the energy efficiency of these older properties by 40 - 70% {so far they older ones have all turned out near, or above, the 70% mark}.

I think one should be looking for unique opportunities right across the maritimes.

I'm active in northern NH and VT and am interested in Quebec and the Maritimes

It's sunny and a balmy -17C (0F) here in the Maritimes this morning with 14" - 24" of fresh snow which just arrived Sunday evening.  

I am getting out in 2 years, and intend on going to California Maritime Academy, or SUNY Maritime to pursue a license to drive ships and eventually become a Captain.
