You will not have to deal with cross border issues if you invest in Canadian real estate.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/covid-19-may-real-estate-1.5562836

I understand the broader demographics of these markets but still very much in the early phases of delving deeper though I must say Cleveland has definitely shown some early appeal.Other Costs - I'm just looking for a general idea of what to expect on this front of things, things such as land tax (if the US has it), Stamp Duty (again if it exists), insurances (required/desired), management fees (I want a property manager in place due to time zones/distance/peace of mind), etc, etc.Finding a Team - This is one of the harder parts, I'm not averse to a trip to America for some research later in the year (if Australia ever opens its damn borders again!)

@Michael DeRienzo  I would buy a 3 to 4 unit in NH on the MA border with a FHA 203k loan. 

I host a quarterly investor luncheon at Big Springs with Harry Borders and SurePoint Equity.

Even a DSCR of 1.05 is effectively de-capitalizing your business because you do not have enough funding to cover basic repairs and maintenance.  

I live in SC (close to the NC border) and would prefer someone local, but definitely open to a remote resource as well.

As soon as I can cross the borders and meetup are allowed I'll make sure to attend a few one to meet more people in the area. 

You could start with the high value 5 borough properties and move out to Jersey/Delaware with the lower 6 fig houses. 

Many states were still open for evictions, but courthouses were closed and were not accepting new eviction filings due to Covid, which I see as a de facto ban of evictions.Live where you want and invest where it makes sense!

Our house borders a wooded area around the lake so theire is wildlife around.
