The climate in the maritimes differs so much depending on where you invest.. 

I know a ton of people who even moved to the maritimes but I don't think there is a specific area east where they are heading..Ottawa is always near to top in terms of best places to live in Canada lately so you can't go wrong there. 

Has anyone here heard of a Maritime Lien?

I had originally posted this in a thread belonging to Ashley Harris, but to avoid dragging her thread off-topic, I've moved it here.Yesterday, I walked one of the oldest private estate houses in the Maritimes  (built c1850) which is still in-tact and still owned by the original family.  

But accessing them {directly} in parts of the Maritimes may be a test.  

@Luke ShortyThere are opportunities in the Maritimes and you would have the advantage over the flightless Loonie ($0.75 USD today) at the moment.To invest up here you will confront similar challenges to those faced by Canucks investing in the U.S.A.  

Similar to Ann Bellamy down in New England, here in the Maritimes, finding houses, or even multi-unit buildings built in the early to mid 1800s is common.

cant do much with that in GTA.. you can look in maritimes or venture to the US

However, for that same price, you could still purchase a 16-20 unit apartment building in the Maritimes. :-) On the landlord rights issue - In my experience BC, Ontario, PQ, and NS are very tenant friendly.

CAP rates down east in the Maritimes tend to be a little better (6-9), but nothing like you will find in the U.S.A. rust-belt.
