Plus the global demand for +30 days stay is growing.You're on the right track!

As a Canadian you can buy with a Canadian company.

Global commodities have been going down because China's not manufacturing as much anymore and they are not building as much.

With that said I met many Canadians who were renting 3 to 4 months at a time but I don't know if the units are vacant or rented during summer months.Good luck and let us know what you find.  

I'm fairly new to real estate and have quickly found that the great Canadian north is a difficult place to get started in with the high properties prices.

Real estate is a play on housing supply & demand, as well as population & job growth, whereas precious metals are a play on rising inflation and lack of confidence, as well as global commodity demand. 

I'm also Canadian and was born in toronto.

I am a Canadian/German investing in Real Estate in the U.S.

Instead of last months rent you should take the last two or three months of rent up front as a result of not having a Canadian resident co-sign.

We've done several deals for Canadian citizens that have no SSN or tax returns using their Social Insurance Number, for example.
