Canadian citizen want to purchase commercial land and build a strip mall.Need advice on.1.

I've never done a course, but I always had trust issues on these type of things.I am Canadian, I live in Toronto.

Preliminary calculations in my area (major Canadian city) with this approach consistently give me IRR of sub 10%.

I would say that you are correct about Prescott having a shortage or rentals, but it also a snowbird and retiree neighborhood for Canadians, Californians, and east coasters.

Many of the Canadian clients I work with gravitate towards North Carolina, Texas, with Florida and Arizona being their top choices so I'd looking into those states a bit more which it seems you've already started to do. 

They could file a fair housing suit against you claiming that you did not accept them because they were white, or Jewish, or they had kids, or didnt' have kids or they were Canadian.

I think we should lobby BP for Canadian cities.

I've looked at California's market, and it looks a lot like the Canadian market, where the laws are made to protect the tenants and are not landlord friendly.

Keep in mind many books are US-focused and some advice may not apply to Canadians - especially legal and tax topics.

Are there any good screening companies that screen Canadians?
