There is a group called the PII (Portland Investment Initiative) that are heavily invested in the area.

I am now looking heavily at stopping my contributions to those (aside from making sure I get my 401k match maxed) and focusing on Real Estate with the goal of replacing my salary at some point.Here's where my thoughts are at the moment: Take out a loan for second property with minimum down, 20% max.  

@James Wise is very active on these forums and I believe he operates very heavily within that area.

The Skyline Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust is investing heavily in Windsor and Tecumseh.The Guelph-based company just purchased 23 properties for $136.2-million, to become one of the more dominant landlords in the area.Skyline CEO Jason Castellan believes it’s a good time to invest in the region.
