Preparation is going to help you reduce some of the fear and anxiety.    

Since I am new to real estate, I acquired my Florida Real Estate Salespersons License in order to earn while I learn.

Personally I wouldn't choose it as that's less than half my ROR (even before reducing the return by the amount of rent paid) and I don't trust any govt systems to be there as promised by the time I'm old enough to collect.To consider the property potential, it's possible even without rent and depreciation, that you could beat 6.5%/yr over 9 years. 

This reduces the chance for significant sweat equity.Are you prepared for years of hundreds of dollars of negative cash flow?

We could have made 300k more and reduced our holding costs.

If you're motivated, answer your phone and wanr to earn please message me.

We refinanced the property in 2017, reduced our loan to 20 years, and got a 3.5% interest rate.

I gave them a market analysis of the property, and told them I would do the real estate work for free, if they would be willing to reduce the sales price by what the commission would have been.

You will want to consult with a Canadian accountant and attorney with cross-boarder business/real estate experience to decide on an ownership structure which best fits your immediate needs, but allows you to evolve to your longer term goal.If you plan to keep your retained earnings in the U.S.A. for re-investment, you will want to use a U.S.A.

As an active out of state investor, I like the idea of knowing that at least I can reduce my overall investment risk by having the eviction laws favor the owner rather than the tenants.
