As a foreign buyer, you are to look for 2 things in particular: the temporary foreign ban (which they keep pushing further back) and the source - The foreign purchase ban which applies across the board. yes there are exceptions but if you are not a Canadian tax Resident (which it seems you are), you will need to look for communities where the population is less than 100,000 in general. - Another exception to note on that foreign buyer ban is the number of units/doors for your investment: I believe the magic number is 5+ as this would be considered as commercial Real Estate- In Ontario, you will also have to look our for the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) which imposes about 25% on the purchase tax.

This question crossed my mind recently after reading a post and some comments discussing whether an investor is experienced enough to raise capital from outside sources.

@Chantelle LewisRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

While I don't want to focus on doing this as my main source of income (I still mainly want to do fix & flips and contract assignments), I wouldn't mind trying it, just to see if it's something that could work for me.
