Some friends of mine who rent to members of the military enjoy the fact that they basically are guaranteed the rent for the terms of the lease (generally two years). 22307, 22308, and the 22309 zips are at or border Ft.

In your particular case, it will boil down to a few things: who you invest with in the US (most important), solid cross-border CPA and investment strategy. 

Perhaps I should focus my efforts south of the border. 

George Dube and Peter Cuttini both CPA that work together across both borders.

This included removing all weed / growth, installing a brick border, laying out landscaping cloth and stone.

@Craig DiSanto, if I'm choosing who to close with I always opt for Borders and Borders. 

I go to the ones at On The Border in Rt 1 in New Brunswick but they also have meetings in Princeton and several sub groups.

Having said that, you will eventually need to get together with a CA and Lawyer who BOTH have cross border expertise BEFORE you buy.

I'm a cross border real estate attorney with clients in HK.

So the land is located near the border of Trotwood.
