I live in Lancaster, PA and it's a lot here that's very positive.Our market is historically pretty stable and hasn't been subject to sharp increases followed by sharp decreases in property values.

Quote from @Devin James: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: this is a hugely subjective question. 

After only reading your subject line, I was curious why you were targeting Canadians.

Subject To - Settle on Price, up front cash and terms - points/percentage 3.

You will buy a specific property, in a specific location, in a specific city subject to specific local rules and regulations.

Being a subject matter expert, not because you are forcing it, but because you simply ARE, shows through, and investors are rightfully attracted to that. 

I stopped reading after reading your subject line...know this:The #1 reason why landlords fail is due to their failure to manage to the lease (Source: American Apartment Owners' Assn). 

- If so, 1031 into something bigger and easier to manage and then when you pass, the inheritor receives your property(s) at a stepped up basis - subject to Inheritance Tax limits.Otherwise, sell one every 1-5 years when you need the cash, so you can plan expenses to offset capital gains.

Some of these strategies (though not all, and possibly not the most profitable) are the subject of constant discussion on BP. 

This will cost money to maintain, cost money to manage leasers, subject you to the will of tenants/leasers should they damage something, should someone get injured, your money will be gone (for now), subject you to the will of the market, interest rates, potential market volatilities.. you will need a lawyer at that amount for sure and a good CPA.
