I'm going to reiterate what's already been mentioned above, but I'm going to actually give you examples of why it's relevant to you to find a U.S. tax professional.1 - You're going to need to file U.S. taxes once you have property down here, there's federal filings, state filings, and sometimes local filings too2 - Tons of tax treaties between the U.S. and Canada that are easy to miss and can cost you a lot of money (important one with rentals - effectively connected income - if the professional you talk to doesn't know what this is, run away)3 - The amount of days you spend in the U.S. needs to be tracked and if you go over a threshold, all of your worldwide income could be taxable by the U.S.4 - Selling real property means up to 15% of your sales proceeds might not be available to you for years (FIRPTA)5 - Lots of nuance at the state and local levels, which both want to take as much money from you as possibleMain takeaway here is that you should find a U.S. based tax person.

Does anyone have any tips/ advice to help make sure my property will appraise for what I planned on based on my rehab?

Can you deny someone's application based on this despite it being a medical marijuana card & not technically breaking the rules of smoking indoors?

Keep detailed records of income, expenses, and improvements, and choose the right filing approach based on your comfort level with these rules.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Thanks all I never buy a property based on it being tax benefits.

We have made money buying properety based on cash flow (lower priced) rented out for a period, then selling to an owner occupant. 

Do you know who the top developers in your area are just based on new homes going up?

I turned lender based in St.

You can probably make decent returns in Akron based on gross income and purchase price.

Both approaches can work—you just have to decide what feels right based on your timeline and goals.Good luck with the closing, and feel free to reach out if you are ever looking in Indiana!
