@Leigh C Here is a PriceWaterhouseCoopers client alert on Act 22: http://www.pwc.com/en_GX/gx/hr-management-services/newsletters/global-watch/assets/pwc-puerto-rico-income-tax-exemption-granted-non-residents.pdf 

I've been working for almost 5 years now for a global business consulting firm.

He did speak english, but in that funny canadian way.

You'd be looking at a 1 hour + commute to midtown in all these areas and crime might still be an issue depending on the block.Then again, a rising tide raises all boats so I can see good appreciation in all these areas over the next 5 years as Brooklyn 'the brand' continues to go global.

Borrowing up to the hilt is what led to the Global Financial Crisis less than 10 years ago, and is still the cause for some countries being in imminent danger of Bankruptcy!

I am hoping a foreign real estate tax expert can help me on the top of foreign mortgage tax payoff gains, also known as section 988 of the tax code.I purchased an investment property in Canada in 2013, and financed the property with a Canadian mortgage.  

Buyers have been a combination of over 50 planning for retirement, average mom and pops, Australians, Japanese, Canadians, Russians.

I ran the numbers and came up with a total of $813 / month.I got replies from some other management companies and they were all quite similar.I have a friend of a friend who owns a place down there and says that now with the Canadian dollar the way it is, he wouldn't bother, he's just breaking even without carrying a mortgage, although he does use it himself for 6-8 weeks during high season.

Hi All,This post is targeted at Canadians although open for all to comment.Has anyone purchased a property and evaluated the investment as an exclusive Air B&B (or similar)? 

I have a MBA and a Master's in Global Innovation Management from North Carolina State University.
