There is something missing from the details but as most of these types of programs, they are not worth spending time figuring it out.

Wow, good catch Steve, I missed that and no, you know I don't suggest such things, thanks.Well, horsefeathers!

Also, start reaching out to folks (check out BiggerPockets.com/meet for local people) and if you haven't, don't miss Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing and the BiggerPockets Podcast, especially the episode with @Ben Leybovich , which I think you'll find especially motivating.

Most of my U.S.A. business in the past has been with operational (active) corporations and not in real estate investing and we have yet to find a cost-effective way to miss the 30% withholding.This has my interest and I need to learn if not being subject to the 30% withholding by the IRS, just means the full amount of tax at the Canadian rate would be collected by the CRA rather than just the delta between the IRS NRA withholding and the effective tax rate in Canada.

I've never missed/been late on a payment and we've taken very good care of the property as it were my own (probably better than any tenant before hand as well).

Once you get the Cap rate of a property, you must verify that it is accurate and not inflated due to inaccuracies, inflated revenues, or missing or shorted expenses.
