Potential deal is an SFR  that was built over top the border of two adjacent lots (original builder owned both).  

The number streets, which represents the Eastern or southern part of Irvington bordering Newark, is a lot rougher than upper Irvington.

It was deleted as well.We used this type of tile as a border in the bathroom, Just cut it into strips it came out nice!

Typically to outskirts of the city along the border towns are the better areas and as you get closer to downtown and the University it gets more rundown.

While the IRS will treat them as flow-though and tax the revenue in your hands, the CRA does not recognise this flow-through and treats them as bodies corporate and you will not be eligible for a tax credit for the taxes paid in the U.S.A.If you are planning to do any volume of business in the U.S.A. and wish to have control over when net earnings are repatriated to Canada (if at all), then you will want to have a corporation (C-Corp or LLC that has elected to be taxed as a corporation).Best to consult with a {Canadian} accountant with cross-border business/real estate experience before you get too far down your path.

There is a huge difference between east or west of 15th street in Allentown, you need to know the borders of the NIZ, It is possible to get good tenants no matter where you are, but depending on location, it takes more effort to get the good ones, and when I spend more effort, i expect a higher return.If you are looking at center city... 3rd st to 9th, from Chew to Walnut.. that is all tough, unless you have a commercial property in the NIZ.
