The next province over from Manitoba is Ontario and a condo in Toronto can cost in the 500,000 range and in Manitoba a 2300 sq. ft house in a high end neighborhood can cost 500,000 to 600,000.  

I live in Ottawa but currently I've been investing out of province in Nova Scotia.

My aim is to buy my first rental property in late 2020, however I would like to buy a property in Saskatchewan, 2 provinces down from where I live as my first rental.

With the rising home prices in Toronto GTA Ontario..The government has has implemented a first time home buyers incentive for you to buy a home with a downpayment between 10-15% and avoid CMHC taxes..One of the requirements is having income under $120kThe province is willing to lend you 5-10% towards your Downpayment with no interest and payments until you sell your home within 25 years.However they are basically investing with you as they want the same amount of equity as they lent you.

That is to say, BC is a presence based province outside the major cities, and provincial and federal policies are slowly choking them to death.

You’re in the best province overall to be investing in long term currently.

I Own a house 3 provinces over in Manitoba, which my dad is renting off me.

In fact Thai authorities in one province did come out and say any foreigners renting their condos need to acquire a work permit.

It's a beautiful part of the province.

@Amadeus HladunDepending on the province there will be a provincial land registry which you can access electronically or physically - frequently for a small fee.
