Hey Scott,I believe your counties with real population growth are Kent, Ottawa, Kalamazoo, and Traverse which are nowhere near you, unfortunately.But, in saying that the metro Detroit area (Berkely, Royal Oak, Hazel Park, Warren, Clawson, Madison Heights, Ferndale, Troy, Rochester, etc. are amazing markets to be in despite what you hear on the news about "Detroit".I know and am meeting more people who are investing in your area (Genesee County) who do very, very well.I think many of the answers are going to vary to your questions.

My thoughts, and I'm posting so I can be corrected:I'm an agent and tenants are a royal pain.

I am interested to hear from your experience investing in Ontario since the BP educational material is so American, it is nice to get some Canadian tips.

A Canadian owner has been doing this for years with all of her guests and she claims that it's resulted in repeated bookings time after time.

I've seen Canadian investors on BP,  ones I have a great deal of respect for, explain why Canadian markets may appear over priced but will keep going up (forever apparently).  

Would be interested to gain some feedback from Canadian Investors with regards to the introduction of Commercial Property Investment opportunities to their network via an Exempt Market Dealer.There are various opportunities available for investors in European Asset backed, commercial property and Loan Notes paying anything up to 14% per annum.Naturally all investments come with some type of risk and it is important to carry out Extensive Due-Diligence prior to making a final decision!

Hi all,Was listening to one of the podcasts, and one of the investor stories involved someone finding a property on auction.com. I'm from Quebec, and was wondering if anyone knew of a Quebec equivalent to that website...

We do have some canadian members you can search for. 

Any wise Real estate Canadians out there?

He has told the realtor he make 30k a month, but he is Canadian, doesn't want to get loan thru bank because he wants to buy and use it as a tax write off with his company.
