For the tracker, I would just have a simple Excel sheet without generic entries 

The price point to entry here is usually $120-180k to find positive cash flowing deals.

The big pros are the strong job market (lots of major employers), good population growth, and still-reasonable entry prices.

From what I can see around here it is a landlord friendly state so when you turn your prop into a rental you should do well as long as the numbers are good.Acquisition is all about entry price.

The cost of entry is low, and cash flow is high.You can find distressed off-market duplexes under 120k and SFH under 80k in B to C-class areas.

I also see your point about avoiding bargain basement properties, especially insofar as tax shielding is easier with an asset of a reasonable size.Your point about barriers to entry is also interesting, since I suppose those barriers can be geography (natural boundaries of mountains/water), but you're probably referring to that which impedes future construction?

Real Estate Investment in Canada has, in recent years, been strained in terms of affordability, and other rules creating an additional barrier of entry; especially for foreign buyer.Although I am investor in Ontario and Quebec, I'm not a lawyer, nor an accountant, nor an immigration consultant, so make sure you consult with the appropriate expert for accurate information.

It's still an expensive entry point.

Otherwise, I'd say watch those areas closer to Micron understanding the barrier to entry will be significantly higher in exchange for the lower risk.
