@Brian Payne Yes, Jump right in is a strategy that has worked for many, however, I want to create an experience for them so I get repeat & referral business.

However, whatever route you go make sure you hire an independent agent rather than captive so they can shop the entire market for you! 

So far, nobody complained.

When investing in any type of real estate in the U.S. as a Canadian, the entities that you set up are so important from the perspective of avoiding double taxation and legal liability.

They installed bidets without my permission and created plumbing issues so I had to pay for a plumber to come out several times, I've had to replace a frontdoor knob and deadbolt last month even after we rekeyed the home prior to them moving in, the garbage disposal blades were jammed so had to call a handyman, repaired a broken window which my property manager claims was broken prior to them moving in even though the repair was made 3 months after they moved in.

Dimensions and layouts on these are mostly standardized so you shouldnt have any problem unless the existing cabinets are custom built for the space.

But the trend to moving south is so strong that it might take decades before it reverses.

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.

Thank you and happy Friday.Best,Artiom So many think Sec 8 is some complicated way to invest, it's not, it's the exact same way as renting to a cash tenant, just more paperwork.

I imagine this has something to do with taxation, so I would advise a CPA.
