We realize that house hacking is a good way to get started, but have struggled with leaving downtown as we like it so much.Due to a series of related events, we decided to that we should at least look at areas we like to frequent (Ohio City, Tremont and Detroit Shoreway)(these are neighborhoods the border downtown Cleveland for those not familiar. 

Congrats from North of the border ! 

@Johnathan MathewsI have a contact based here in Ontario.I can put you in touch with her if you would like, she sets up cross border deals for Canadian looking to invest in the U.S and would have all the necessary information regarding taxes, returns and so forth.

I'm looking at a multifamily on 72nd & Center that you would think is in Milwaukee but in fact is in a tiny pocket of Wauwatosa that juts north along the irregular border.

Any real estate activity you are involved in creates a certain level of liability for your broker even if it is across the border.

I do live near Elk Grove just bordering Sacramento so if there is any other groups that can be advised I will gladly take it.  

I'm very familiar with the US markets, but could really use some help from north of the border.

My question would be don't you think this is risky from across the border, or did you plan to move there?

steve,all of our properties are rentals. check our my website too.this particular one is in Garden city, michigan. borders Wesland, close to livonia.

., generally-speaking, the populated areas of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties and maybe some of the cities in Los Angeles County that border San Bernardino County.
