Happy Holidays AllWe live in Ontario and have been investing in the US for 9 years now.

While I haven’t chosen a specific niche yet, I’m leaning toward purchasing a multi-unit apartment where my 20-year-old son could live and help manage while we rent out the other units—essentially a form of house-hacking.So far, I’ve connected with a few real estate agents and gained MLS access, which has been a great starting point.

The premise of those opportunities are based on you living there for an extended amount of time.

If you have lived in it for 2 yrs I would suggest renting it for 2 - 3 years and then selling it to avoid capital gains taxes. 

I used to live in Katy and still flip in Houston, but recently move to Florida. 

Because someone looking to live in the property will pay more because it's usually an emotionally drive decision.

Are you chasing career opportunities or a lower cost of living?

People’s Republic of Asheville is more concerned with STR regulations than people living in boxes on the streets.

Unfortunately most CPA's have not lived through more realistic income tax bracket environments such as the 50s 60’s 70s and 80s……so what I’m saying here is not something that most investors, business-owners, high net worth families, or REI investors are thinking about.

I'm sure they also told you their systems will protect against aggressive attorneys and creditors and make you invisible so nobody will ever dare file a claim against you...it's all a money grab.If you are a sole proprietor I am putting my money on the fact a single member LLC in the state in which you live/own real estate will suffice.
