Besides the information provided already, I recommend you to pick up the phone when you are not traveling and talk to a few people.  

I currently live in Ocala, FL but travel back to OH regularly since my family is there.

Some are really in your face, others just have a travelling guru come through selling their wares.I have found a few that are NO SALES.

So, PM me and we can talk in detail about when you're moving here and how we can work together.Safe travels!

Not that I smoke myself - but once you've been doing this for a while you will see that it is more common than you thought.

no, there were not special forms needed. the canadian couple did not, of course have american social security numbers, but they were able to use canadian i. d. in place of that without issue. they purchased the house i sold them and others that they currently own in much the same manner as an american citizen does. i would have to agree with josh, it would be best for your friend to invest in an area of the U S that he can travel to easily. here in buffalo and the western new york area, the couple from canada that i speak of live in toronto which is about 90 miles away. pretty much an easy trip. of course you have to go thru customs on a regular basis which can trigger intrest from them because of the frequent trips, but once they get to know you and the issues that are a part of the reason for the frequent trips, its not a problem.

Maybe I should write for the chamber of commece.. at the end of the day I would still much prefer to live in the Napa Valley ( which is were I lived before I moved up there) but its a pretty nice spot really.. and I travel extensively thorugh the US on work.. so I see many metro areas and their housing stock..
