I've trained myself so that if I were to have a significant increase in cash flow and net worth, I don't think there's much that would change in my life as far as spending habits.  

This issue falls under the Implied Warranty of Habitability guidance.I am not a lawyer. 

I travel all over the country for work and there is nothing quite like Seattle.  

Besides the information provided already, I recommend you to pick up the phone when you are not traveling and talk to a few people.  

I currently live in Ocala, FL but travel back to OH regularly since my family is there.

Some are really in your face, others just have a travelling guru come through selling their wares.I have found a few that are NO SALES.

So, PM me and we can talk in detail about when you're moving here and how we can work together.Safe travels!

We did a lot of the work ourselves this time because this was the first project we have done together and we were learning about each other's work habits, styles, ethic etc. 

no, there were not special forms needed. the canadian couple did not, of course have american social security numbers, but they were able to use canadian i. d. in place of that without issue. they purchased the house i sold them and others that they currently own in much the same manner as an american citizen does. i would have to agree with josh, it would be best for your friend to invest in an area of the U S that he can travel to easily. here in buffalo and the western new york area, the couple from canada that i speak of live in toronto which is about 90 miles away. pretty much an easy trip. of course you have to go thru customs on a regular basis which can trigger intrest from them because of the frequent trips, but once they get to know you and the issues that are a part of the reason for the frequent trips, its not a problem.
