As a professional Boston area investor, I continually hear of Chinese and other international investors from decelerating/unstable economies, many with weakening currencies, driving up the prices of new-build, Class A residential assets.  

There is a lot of foreign investment and rich people who want to live here.  

Ideally you'd want someone who has some experience with foreign ownership (for your MX condo).Send me a message if you need help formulating any questions to ask them.

The bulk of the money goes to the people, not as in the case of the city's many hotels, where most of it goes into the pockets of foreign investors while the Greeks working in the hotels make minimum wage.The golden rule in America is very simple: he who has the gold, makes the rules.

I'm not as interested in travel anymore having been to 47 United States, 105 foreign countries, and fully enjoyed 42 cruises.

It also provides a better handling of multi-currency, Canadian GIFI and Canadian & International taxation that we experienced with Quickbooks (or SimplyAccounting).

I'm not willing to let this foreign investment hurdle to impact my goals, especially when i'll probably be investing via an LLC / LTD.Thanks for your interest and concern!

Due to differences in the value of currencies, if my VA were to earn the equivalent amount here in the US, they would be paid ~$38/hr.  

@Maripier CarignanNote that recently the CRA announced that they will start treating LLP & LLLP's as foreign corporations as opposed to partnerships, so therefore you'll lose any tax benefits of holding in either of these entities.  

I have heard that there is more red tape to foreign investors due to the housing collapse . . . is that the case?
