@Ron SharpThere should be lots of threads in the Canadian forums here on BP ... it seems like not a week passes without that very question.Depending upon where you are planning to invest, and what type of asset you are planning to acquire, you may have the option of using a U.S.A. subsidiary of one of the Canadian banks (TD, RBC, BMO) who will lend to you based upon your credit history and income here at home.

I am having the same issue with my Android on the mobile site when responding to PM and sometimes forum threads.

Hello BPers, I've been a little dormant on the forums of late.... work and things seem to get in the way more than I should allow. 

Can anyone give me a rundown of decent neighborhoods in the Orlando area, ones to avoid in concerns to renting, and any recommendations PM or forum here of good apartments that my fiance and I can investigate.
