The fundamentals are there - good job market, good local economy, ever increasing immigration.

If everything looks good, send them a Lease.However, this potential tenant is here on a non immigrant student visa, so they do not have a social security number.

“Making sure everyone has access to quality, affordable housing is a bipartisan issue, and the industry stands ready to do its part to help create the 4.3 million new apartment homes our country needs.”Immigration has been a main driver of demand, but levels tapered off before the pandemic and remain lower than normal.

Hello fellow BPers,I am currently looking for a tax accountant to do my tax return for this year (and potentially for the next year and on).I don't have a property yet for 2019 tax return, but I am in kind of a complicated situation, and I'd like to connect with anyone who has experience filing tax returns for immigrants preferably. 

I posted some of my investments in my profile to give you guys a better idea of the Montreal market :) - I do think Montreal will slowly** catch up to Toronto due to supply shortages, immigration influx (which won't ever decline since our provincial median age is the worst in the country), + the fact that it's an island puts a building cap on the market.

I have an 18-unit in Cleveland.Pretty much stabilizing for this first year, getting rid of inherited deadbeat tenants etcI have gone to Cleveland twice since acquiring the asset in September 2017:once during initial due diligence and I just came back from walking all units again with my PM last week.Wouldn't have it another way.Much less involved in it compared to my local Jacksonville buildings as my PM as been awesome in communicating.Oh by the way,I read this recent article on BP condemning Cleveland and Memphis to the bottom of some list of "6 cities"...I have no idea why people make these sweeping generalizations based on some graphic or data.It's like a girl saying to herself:"most men cheats I'll never fall in love".It's easy to write an article or create a spreadsheet while drinking beer in your man cave.I just returned from a week of walking the streets of Cleveland taking in the billions of $ in new investment in the downtown area and east of the Flats where an unbelievable transformation has happened since I last lived there in 2011.Vacancies are down, rents are rising.Yet some guy who's never actually been to Cleveland sits somewhere in LA and writes articles about how net immigration in Cleveland is negative etc.Hilarious.

We don't know what the backlash against immigration will be.

That area has had a huge influx of Chinese (mostly mainland) immigrants in the past 10-20 years, and the population is almost 50% of Chinese ethnic descent.

I believe that Texas is one of the best places to invest and that probably not change anytime soon unless the government slows down immigration.  

@Joe Cummings , some of us immigrants have made millions from practically zilch when we came to this country.
