Regardless of where the property is at, just by looking at the rent, price and sec. 8 status of tenants means you’re getting into a challenging demographic where turnover and property damage can be real profit killers, just be aware of that and be careful.

I would suggest you set up your key words in your profile regarding Canadian investors or Canada or something to that nature.

Be honest with yourself about what you will and won't be doing and then make sure you have people who can help you with the other aspects.I think its human nature to value what we enjoy.

Challenges?
