Hi Massimo and fellow Canadians,Texas is also a great place to invest because it has: 1) Pro-landlord laws 2) Affordable prices / good returns 3) No state income tax 4) population and economic growth which has driven prices higher.I specialize in helping foreign investors buying real estate in the US and more specifically in Texas.Here Canadian are among the top three foreign buyers along with Chinese and Mexican buyers.I provide financing for these international buyers.
