Keeps those who cross national borders on their toes, I guess...

@Nicole Campbell I live on the Marietta/Roswell border - would you mind sharing details about the meetup group you attend there?  

So we took a gamble, made the offer, the seller accepted since no one else had offered since they couldn't view the property.

Do a lot of border agents stay in Sumas?

Hehehehe no I think this one trip will not involve gambling/clubs.

I look at the 2nd wave as more opportunities for people like me before things start to settle in 2+ yrs and Vegas economy bounces back :cool: In the old days, when the economy tanked, people used to drown their sorrow in alcohol and gambling.

Our property was in a flood plain because it bordered a nice little lake with a decent view from the house.

I currently live in a tiny town Grande Cache, Alberta where I manage an Environmental Contracting company working with First Nations, Oil, Gas, Forestry, Government and all the rest.My real estate experience is fresh at best but I am in a fantastic position to start with a nice piggy bank of life savings in the 10's of thousands, no debt, dual income with my partner and a fairly cheap rental situation at the moment.We have a wonderful opportunity with some land my partner was given on the Ontario, Quebec border aswell as some fantastic waterfront lots we have been looking to buy on West Coast Vancouver Island.

That will potentially and perhaps necessarily add cross border tax considerations into your search for competent and affordable services.

We usually sell our foreclosure properties for a profit but thinking you could turn $500 into $80,000 on one deal is not investing it's gambling.
