Hey Mo,It looks like your condo is in prime time IMG Academy (global sports academy) space.

Global information is also appreciated.Thank you all in advance!

Not sure where to start or if other fellow Canadians have targeted areas.

There are much better educational events in the Toronto area.If you're considering investing in Canada, just make sure you're educated with Canadian content.

I couldn't find anything with search but how do mortgages work as a Canadian looking to invest in US properties?

A lot of the advice you will hear on BP is America specific and does not apply in Canada or to Canadians investing in the US, especially the rent to value ratio and the average prices of properties. 

I am just checking in to see if any Canadian business owners had used the free cash/retained earnings to purchase rental real estate in the US?

Many global mega-cities experience similarly complex influences.

I'm still getting my feet wet here, and I thought I was searching "Forums", when in fact I was searching globally, which includes "Marketplace".For an older guy, I still apparently have a lot to learn.

I don't know the stats, but Canadian money has a significant impact on the market there.
