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.

We want to buy an arcade machine for our STR that plays a bunch of different games.

And dont know about Ken.. but his partner for sure was very versed in sub to.. the information was accurate as we both kind of played in the northwest sandbox . and before sub to foreclosure rescues / rent backs became illegal in about 08 I personally did a few hundred of them. 

Even with the redactions, it's not hard to figure out based on deduction how much we are making from the rental and from my income.

Looking for a long term play with rent stability more than making huge cash flow.

I don't know CLE per se (I'm based in STL), but I know the financial side of gut rehabs in urban centers of big cities.
