The australian and canadians had been very strong in atlanta for sometime but most had been burned by single family rentals....and burnt badly.  

@Calvin Chan There was a recent thread here on BP about Canadian's investing in the U.S.A.  

My folks live there and am a KC Royals fan so find myself there from time to time.  

I am not familiar with Canadian real estate laws so I can not speak to them.  

The amount of homicide in Mexico will reach a record number this year.More and More Americans and Canadians have decided against vacationing in Mexico (i should know, I am still in the hotel industry) and an increasing number of companies have decided not to have their incentive trips in Mexico (a backbreaker for Mexico).Just do a search on google.  

My accountant (and most Canadian real estate books) affirm that replacing like for like is NOT capex and should be treated as an expense (which is great from a tax perspective). 

A very common window style in Europe, but still rare here in North America, though a few Canadian and U.S.A. fenestration companies have started to produce them.The tilt-in-turn offers an additional benefit that you do not have to be worried about obstructions in the window well (leaves, snow, etc.) preventing the window from opening in the event of an emergency.

I'm new to BP; quite new to Real Estate Investing in the U.S. as I'm Canadian; but not-so-new to real estate investing.
