First American is my go to with normal contracts.

YMMV.Steve they are called Strata's   which = Condo is American language. the crime in BC is bikers.. so as long as you dont have bikers your basically OK.. 

Isn't that the American Way?

I've currently got a JVP with a local Canadian investor, who partners with an American investor in Texas to buy properties at tax lien auctions.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

The property was fairly run down, i.e. overgrown yard, the occupied unit has window coverings consisting of aluminum foil and/or bed sheets/blankets, additionally, there is work that could certainly improve the unit, although the tenants expressed no concerns to previous owner or to me when I took over. 

I've spent quite a bit of time in central and south American countries, and it does surprise me how much I can begin to remember after a few days when I'm immersed.. but the level of understanding required to negotiate a real estate deal in Spanish or explain the terms of a contract is just something far beyond what I've ever had.

I've heard a lot of investors express the same complaints of looking out-of-state because of the prices in the Boston area.
