This is in Buffalo, NY.

Good morning everyone,I have been lurking off and on for the past 2 years or so.  I have also listened to every podcast multiple times.To give everyone a little background on myself: I recently withdrew from an accele...

I currently own a SFR in Buffalo, NY and need a local handyman to perform some minor repairs.

I also need to retain an attorney, in Buffalo NY, that has experience with 203k loans in order to finalize what will or will not be owed to either party in order to move forward with a new contractor to have the job done correctly.

no, there were not special forms needed. the canadian couple did not, of course have american social security numbers, but they were able to use canadian i. d. in place of that without issue. they purchased the house i sold them and others that they currently own in much the same manner as an american citizen does. i would have to agree with josh, it would be best for your friend to invest in an area of the U S that he can travel to easily. here in buffalo and the western new york area, the couple from canada that i speak of live in toronto which is about 90 miles away. pretty much an easy trip. of course you have to go thru customs on a regular basis which can trigger intrest from them because of the frequent trips, but once they get to know you and the issues that are a part of the reason for the frequent trips, its not a problem. 

i have never known a landlord that didn't need an electrician sometime. barter the education. finding properties is not the hard part. i find some everyday just driving around. i would imagine most investors in your area are not going to be willing to educate you much because it takes away from them. but you can ask all of us here on BP and i am sure we would be willing to help. granted, things are different in jersey compared to buffalo, and such, but we might still have the answer you are looking for. ask away. bigger pockets is all about educating you. good luck
