I do not know if the same flip would be recognized in Canada and also become subject to capital gains yet again.I would suggest doing a web search on local accountants and simply call them up to ask if they have clients who currently invest in US real estate for whom they've filed taxes for.  

For the most part, I'm just looking to work with and learn from investors on a real live business.I'm a game developer at my day job but here's some ideas on what I might be able to help you out with:- Data mining- Web maintenance- Automation/integration of tools- Development of tools/appsFeel free to message me if you'd like to work together!

However, I haven't done the best job at reading the forums or really diving into the web site.

I can take calls, make call, fax, email, any web related activities and have the limited ability to get out for an hour at a time.

I also found Rockland County showing up on a few web lists, so I'm doing a little more digging there to figure out how good that would be (Rockland is close to NYC so it would be ideal if that worked).  

I am looking for a web site where I can find distressed properties for sale, filtered by areas.Obviously not the MLS or any other web site that charges you for a fee ? 

We only rent to them if the parents co-sign, no exceptions. as far as gender, nothing you can do, that would be discrimination, unless if you own the house and your daughter / son lives there, then you are allowed to pick what gender lives in the house with them. we do not run potential tenants past current tenants, if they are renting a room individually they go in knowing that the other rooms will be rented to different people, you are in the business to rent and not match make, that being said you don't want problems in the house either but you don't want to loose a renter because one person doesn't feel like they will dislike someone.

Over the months i have been scouring the web for anything i could find on real estate investing.

A web search may locate some also.

Check out this web site or just google FHA Loanshttp://www.mortgagecalculator.org/mortgage-rates/fha-rates.phpI hope this helps you.
