I would register a corporation, roll your profits back into the corporation for future investments and avoid the cross border taxes.

Particularly the restricted zone which is land within 50km of the coast or 100km of the borders requires property to be bought through a trust you cannot own it directly.

That's one helluva gamble with absolutely no guarantees that they will call off the auction.

My wife also had the notion that investing was pretty much the same as gambling.

This would be a fixer up and not something I would want to gamble on for my first MHP...

It was listed at 88k and I knew it would go into a bidding war.It's a 4 bed, 2 bath on a huge plot of land, right on the border, next to the very, very expensive area.Now to the part about getting lucky.

Hi there everyone, i am Toronto Ontario, very new to this great and amazing web site BP just wondering if someone knows a lawyer and an accountant in BP community or other web site who is experience in cross border accounting, taxation and setting up entities for Canadian to buy US properties. 

I would like to expand my borders a bit, perhaps to Whidbey Island, Mount Vernon,  or even Bellingham.  

Without any income coming into you weekly you are taking a gamble that this free mobile home will be quick to repair, attractive to buyers, and lucrative enough to generate a nice payday or monthly income when rented or sold.

There are law firms that specialize in cross border legal and tax matters.
