But the best markets for cash flow are going to be in the Midwest and Southeast for sure.

ISTM that back in Nebraska, a lease was required to specify the total dollar amount for the term, AND the periodic payment terms, while a rental agreement did not specify a total amount. the documents were treated differently by the courts.

I work in CRE and look at a lot of deals around the Southeast.

A little more about me is I grew up in the Midwest, went to school in the southeast, and have raised my family on both the east and currently west coast.

Yet the Southeast part of the country generally has more newer developments and are on average 25 years from orig. built or younger.     

I live in Southeast Michigan and I have found a $69k triplex through a real estate agent's MLS listing that I'm keen on.

You will find lots of good information here on both residential and commercial real estate, particularly in the U.S.A, but some for other jurisdictions (including here at home).Looking south east to Chicago (or Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Cleveland, etc) makes a lot of sense given you could buy a 4-8-unit apartment building for a price similar to a house in Langley these days.Do make certain to consult with both an accountant and lawyer experienced with cross-border real estate investing and take the time to setup an ownership structure that provides you with the protection and flexibility needed to grow and meet your goals.

I'm currently looking forward to an arbitration settlement this September and thinking of purchasing some turnkey properties in the mid-west and south east of the country to substitute my income and more than cover my expenses.  

The only quadrant I'm not real wild about is southeast.

This particular property is in the south east so no snow, and sewer/trash is included in taxes.
