A couple points to contribute:The reports I have read suggest Canadian middle-income earners bring home more than their US counterparts.

His focus is on New Zealand and Australian companies and individuals rather than the US and he seems to enjoy his unofficial watchdog status.I was wondering if he'd modelled himself on an American counterpart or if you had anyone in the US like him.

Sorry, She should have directed you to her commercial counterpart who handles commercial loans. call their number and ask for a commercial loan rep.

@Andrew Taylor is absolutely correct and rehabbed flooded homes are selling for more than their non-flooded counterparts.   

What are additional value propositions that make you stand out apart from your counterparts in the market? 

COUNTERPARTS.

I actually also use Followup boss, on the recommendation of some of your counterparts at Reafco actually. 

And, interestingly, you now observe cross-overs between the two areas, as more and more Europeans go to and buy property in Mexico alongside the ever growing number of Americans and Canadians while more and more Americans and Canadians buy in Spain/Portugal alongside an increasing number of Northern Europeans as well.Mexico might be the best option for North Americans and Spain/Portugal for Europeans for obvious reasons but especially if there's a lifestyle component involved as well.Don't forget though that these are generalizations as there's no one size fits all so it'll depend on your goals, the location, the type of property,...Importantly, unlike in Asia, the standard property title is freehold and foreign buyers have the same rights as their local counterparts so no discrimination there.

Additionally, senior buyers will have a more difficult time making repairs (if the home needs repairs at the time of sale) AND some senor buyers are just as flaky as their 30 year old counterparts (so do not assume that seniors will always pay on time due to gov't money). 

They go to the person on their street that sells air time and texts the air time to them and they give your counterpart the cash.
