Colevin Crause I am Canadian that own parks in US.

Invest in a nice Smith & Wesson for the ensuing battle royales to secure said good deals.

I'm a Canadian living in Seattle, WA and looking to diversify my portfolio. 

If the tenants are royal pains and it would be difficult to get them out following closing, you may consider passing if this is your very first deal.

My training is by an American who also has students in Canada doing Real estate Canadian way. 

unless you lived in the property for a period of time, within the last so many years...And unfortunately I do not believe that there is a Canadian version of the 1021 exchange. 

@Marcella Sheerin It's my opinion that's she attempting to royally rip you off.  

Any short fall in court fees, rent or damages that exceeds the security deposit may be claimed through Small Claims court (another relatively simple process) but collecting will be difficult since we cannot garnish salary here, unlike in most Canadian provinces.Being there, done that.

I have a Canadian Dentist offering to pay me 6 months up front my rental is in Gainesville Florida. 

If is for this reason we typically rent month-to-month to our foreign students {it is also typically their preference}.With our Chinese students in particular, we have found that meeting their obligations (i.e. paying their rent on time) has a large honour factor behind it and many would go without 3-meals/day before they would fail to pay rent.To put it in context, if our Canadian students - or our native born rental population in general - were as dependable as our foreign students, we would almost never have an eviction.
