I would love to hear advice from all the forum members but Canadian members will be particularly interesting to me.

I'm not asking anyone or explaining to anyone if my strategy will work in their specific area.Thank you for your concerns about getting advice on this website, but please understand that I do treat this website as a social media, to me a social media is just "gossip."

I  actually work with a couple of Canadians from Ontario who were interested in vacations rentals as well.

Most of the Canadian investors are in the GTA.

You can also try googleing their name and also look on social media.

@Joseph Haney and @Ned Carey - whatever socializing I missed out on in the last week is because I have clients just.like.you.  :-)

Most of my partners and private lenders are Canadian.  

All of these properties are in good areas of town- no ghetto, near WMU and Kalamazoo College campuses and the social areas in downtowns Kzoo. 

Wages are deemed to be earned income and, i addition to income taxes, are subject to medicaid and social security taxes (sometimes called FICA or payroll taxes).

Also, I am an attorney and my wife works in marketing and social media, so there are several ways we could reduce expenses by doing some legal and advertising work ourselves.Hypothetically, if I wanted to invest up to $100k in rental property, what are my best options?
