Largely, the appreciation in housing prices is coming from both new migrants and investors coming from the East (GTA) as well as international countries (predominately from the middle east).We are also seeing drastic increases in the rental rates which in turn are pushing investment property prices up as well.

@Edreco Amos I think that Tampa, FL is not the worst, but will be among the worst, hit markets in the country.

I used to cold call sellers from across the countries, and offered to buy their homes for cash.

Speak to an accountant who works in both countries in order to establish the entity for you.

Because we have a very large community of investors that buy thousands of homes across the country every year, we are able to negotiate better buying opportunities (and loan options) than you would likely find on your own as an individual investor.

It's a quirk that very few areas of the country have.Both the city and county have their own areas that have Section 8 residents, but the Housing Authorities that handle the programs are different. 

Boston is the 3rd most expensive market in the country, and DC is the 4th.

Detroit has one the highest rent to price ratios in the country…and we focus on the best balance of price/location within the area.Here is a picture of my portfolio if you/anyone is curious.
