Hi Daniel, I would definitely keep your options open in terms of finding the right accountant that could be of great assistance. 

I'm going to reiterate what's already been mentioned above, but I'm going to actually give you examples of why it's relevant to you to find a U.S. tax professional.1 - You're going to need to file U.S. taxes once you have property down here, there's federal filings, state filings, and sometimes local filings too2 - Tons of tax treaties between the U.S. and Canada that are easy to miss and can cost you a lot of money (important one with rentals - effectively connected income - if the professional you talk to doesn't know what this is, run away)3 - The amount of days you spend in the U.S. needs to be tracked and if you go over a threshold, all of your worldwide income could be taxable by the U.S.4 - Selling real property means up to 15% of your sales proceeds might not be available to you for years (FIRPTA)5 - Lots of nuance at the state and local levels, which both want to take as much money from you as possibleMain takeaway here is that you should find a U.S. based tax person.

Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Expect to spend another ~$8K for that.If you are planning to close all-cash and bring enough cash with you for operating expenses and rehab, you are looking at a minimum capital raise of about $3M and that is for a cheap 32 unit.

Run your numbers based on youre required return given what youre likely to have to spend and the amount of headache, risk, and work you have to do.

For REP status federally, you must meet two requirements: work 750+ hours in real estate activities and spend more than 50% of your total working hours on these activities during the tax year.
