I am wondering if there is a group of Canadian investors on this site or anyone who has experience in the Canadian market.

@Clayton GrayStarted a thread on this announcement in the Canadian Real Estate Forum yesterday.

I do not of any Canadian laws, if any exist that do hurt you and that goes for the possible marriage as well and if it has any possible problems in regard to that.  

I hear all the time from investors and real estate agents to stay away from the big banks and go with local lenders, and I just want to share my own personal experience that contradicts that advice.First of all, some background information: I was a Canadian citizen working in the US since 2009 under a H1B visa, and I had built good credit and had a good stable income.

A Canadian consumer watchdog group investigated Rich Dad coaching seminars/salesmanship and found it to be set up like a scam.

Upon the filing of an application for examination, an applicant must submit a detailed appraisal experience log on forms prescribed by the Board documenting at least 3,000 hours of real property appraisal experience, gained over a period of at least 30 months, of which at least 50% must be in non-residential workNow you need the following to become a Real Estate Salesperson. successfully complete the required 75-hour Salesperson Prelicense Course at a school approved by the Georgia Real Estate Commission; successfully complete a minimum of 10 quarter hours or 6 semester hours of either course work eligible for a major in real estate from a U.S. or Canadian accredited college or university or course in real property, agency, or contracts from a U.S. or Canadian accredited school of law.

My question is threefold.(1) Are there Canadian investors on the BP site that have personally invested in a US property, or have assisted other Canadians in that process?

I know a couple of other Canadians who invest in the Chicago area, so you're in good company.
