I was hoping to create an Immigrant Investor Regional Centre a couple of years ago.

I wouldnt exactly be strolling around at night though so I would recommend a place with a driveway so u dont have to park on the street.As an investment I enjoy Paterson since there is a rich immigrant community who rent in the downtown area and I have recieved good returns over the years.Good luck and let me know if u have any questions.

In reality, I am the son of American immigrants, my skin dosn't show that, I grew up in deep poverty, and we tipped little to none because we were broke.

Think of the immigrants that came over years ago, they did not take on a bunch of debt, that is why they had something.

We have been told that as landlords we could be held liable on the immigration issue.

There are some that can and will (mostly immigrants), but most cannot.

By the end of 2013, I think we will be hearing about labor shortages, which should crank up immigration even more.

It's just sounds anti-immigrant.

I'm not an immigration attorney by any means... but I'm pretty sure illegal immigrants can be deported, can't they?

Rob: I had tenants last year {recent immigrants from a far warmer climate than Canada} who liked to keep their house in the 25 - 28C range ... about mid-January, I received a call from my panicking tenants who had just received a $400.00 hydro bill {outdoor temperature had not gotten above -10C in a month}.I went over to re-programme the thermostat {as it was when they moved-in} and brought them sweaters.
