Now that sucks (double taxation), is there any other way to min. being taxed back and forth?

And another attorney is saying that we do not have to pay the transfer tax at all using the land trust strategy. 

Another thing to think about is the change in property taxation.

It really depends on what you prefer, some prefer crypto currency (not me), I prefer private lending / mortgage notes and structured it in a way where there is no ordinary income taxation on it, so it is treated as a qualified dividends.You can invest in anything / any type of business, it really is based on what YOU want to invest in.

@Jenna MeditzI recommend finding an accountant that specializes in real estate taxation.

FURTHERMORE, where they toiled HARD to pay all property TAXATION and all inclusive expenses to MAINTAIN their homes!

Specifically looking for a cross-border accountant, and legal counsel to ensure I get the right paperwork sorted to minimize double taxation, and related cross-border issues.Any other Canadian investors have experience with this, or accountants here who specialize in supporting with this?

So, the profits (generically, sales price minus cost basis or prucahse price) are taxed as ordinary income also subject to self employment tax.Sale of an investment property, i.e. one that was rented, is considered capital gains.It is your intent of the property that signifies which taxation applies. 

I see a lot of people recommending Tecas but as a California resident myself, the double taxation kills you.
