My initial hope was to invest in Canada to avoid complicated tax scenarios, but I know members of the BP community have had good success with cross border investing as long as it's structured correctly.I'm looking to work at least 1 more year overseas, but I'd like to start transitioning into investing over the next 12 months if possible to do so from abroad.I'm really excited to enter into this exciting industry, and hopefully work with some of the great real estate minds here on BP!

Should I seek the nicer areas of town to buy single family rentals and keep them above average nice/bordering on really nice....this idea is that I could get better tenants and lowering my pain is of course the goal here.

Some of the suburbs of Chicago are particularly high for SFR, while just across the border in NW Indiana taxes are much lower and the environment much friendlier for landlords.
