@James DuncanI love PI but you’ll want a person who is a citizen (they limit foreign ownership) and is trust worthy to oversee the property and collect rent.

Anything special about renting a property to a Canadian citizen?

Also, renters(unfortunately) can be looked down upon and treated like second class citizens.

I'm a US citizen living overseas, currently in the UK.

Are you also a U.S citizen?

@Ahmad Alsarawi its worth consulting a U.S. tax accountant, and a lawyer, who are familiar with supporting non-U.S. citizens with U.S. real estate transactions. 

Can a Canadian citizen qualify for a FHA loan when purchasing property in the United States? 

The plumbing and electrical may be marginally safer, but the increased blight due to government's pricing distortions likely causes harm to Albany's citizens in other ways that may be less evident than a burst pipe or an electrical fire, but may be equally or perhaps even more pernicious.

Jacksonville has grown about 60k citizens in the past five years, and continues to grow as multiple businesses relocate their headquarters here and local hospitals expand continuously.

Went to First Citizens, they looked at my w-2 and credit report, drive by appraisal, and got a heloc in a week.
