Rents have been pretty close to what the housing authorities advertise, sometimes even a bit higher.Fort Wayne’s a solid spot with low taxes and good cash flow—definitely worth looking into.

The SEC claims Fossum misappropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars from the funds by living rent-free in a fund-owned home and having the funds pay for extensive international travel and his federal taxes.

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.

That one is a big deal for rebuilding.I've also heard of property tax reductions for properties significantly damaged during the storm.Depending on the property and what you want to do, the hurricanes affected property tax, insurance, and permitting in a lot of ways.

If anything it just means that initial newbie tax / buffer is going away. 

@Armell MayersBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.

No management costs as it would be self managed, and estimated property taxes by the average of the past few years.

.: The applicant needs a social security number or an individual tax ID number (ITIN).

Lower taxes, no POS and lead testing. 

Your best advice would come, for a Tax Advisor NOT a Tax Preparer (CPA).
