I am uploading the pictures yet again, so hopefully they display properly this time. 

Are you talking about the cross-border financing companies mentioned in your article, which there are only two of?

For example, if an employing broker’s legal or dba name on a license includes “Southeast Valley,” that is what must appear in the ad; simply saying “SE” is not sufficient.If the brokerage is an office of a franchise, the office must be identified; simply displaying the franchise name alone is not sufficient.There is also the issue of liability.

We continue to focus on building up our income streams, and dreaming of the travel we will do when borders start to open up again.

I just turned 25 and I close on my first rental deal in North Providence, RI (right on the border of Lincoln, RI) July 30th.

- plus more if "wetland testing" is required (apparently the back of the lot borders a tiny strip labelled wetland on the GIS map) .

I've been looking at the closest cities south of the border for investment opportunities.

Thanks everyone,   First of all, you should get advice from a cross-border legal and/or tax accounting specialist, not taking advice as gospel on a real estate forum. 

In the Chicago area $10k will give you a purchase maybe in Robbins, a small, grimey suburb or give you enough to run for the border, rob a cigarette store for 5k more and buy a small sfr in Gary or East Chicago, Indiana.

thank you @Jim AdrianI have checked the fema maps as well, and it seems like it's right at the border between low/high risks.
