before you spend another PMCs time. 

As important a consideration is how will you reinvest/spend the proceeds from the sale to build wealth.Hope this helps.

So far, nothing.The point is that I believe people spend a lot of money, time, and effort protecting themselves against a non-existent threat.

I'm going to reiterate what's already been mentioned above, but I'm going to actually give you examples of why it's relevant to you to find a U.S. tax professional.1 - You're going to need to file U.S. taxes once you have property down here, there's federal filings, state filings, and sometimes local filings too2 - Tons of tax treaties between the U.S. and Canada that are easy to miss and can cost you a lot of money (important one with rentals - effectively connected income - if the professional you talk to doesn't know what this is, run away)3 - The amount of days you spend in the U.S. needs to be tracked and if you go over a threshold, all of your worldwide income could be taxable by the U.S.4 - Selling real property means up to 15% of your sales proceeds might not be available to you for years (FIRPTA)5 - Lots of nuance at the state and local levels, which both want to take as much money from you as possibleMain takeaway here is that you should find a U.S. based tax person.

Would you mind telling us what you spend per month on life? 

Okay that seems like good news for making a BRRRR work in my market since I was looking to spend something like 45-75 on rehabs for these smaller sized homes. 

Most will have large scale marketing engines where they spend thousands or tens of thousands a month, and operate or license time in call centers.

If I did, I'd find a place I really like to visit and be prepared to spend a lot of time there making connections.  

You can tell how invested he is in others by how much time he spends making free content and answering questions in his group. 

I would spend time building your list of WHO (agent, mentor, contractor/handyman), then WHAT (house type, tenant base, work needed), then WHERE (location).
