If you are able to gain partial interest in the property from someone in the line of inheritance, then you would have 'color of title' and your period of adverse possession can be as little as 3 years in Texas. 

Things I didn't think about or did wrong: exchange rate, needing additional month to finish the property(kind of my fault with not making quicker decision and holiday season coming up), not looking at small expenses like cellphone bills and roaming charges, small details when looking at the property (ex. the siding had some corners missing now good luck finding the right color). sending checks with mail can be expensive (3 to 5 days priority mail is about $30 from Canada to US).For other Canadians out there, buying the property was really easy, everything was done with mail and email.

I plan on getting a tax professional to handle all this, but any color or context I can put to the question would be helpful. 

We have a ton of comforters on the shelf (those Charisma ones from Costco) and I just keep buying new ones for the new colors. :)

Cost less than the other 5 gallons and you can choose your colors.

@Cassandra Weesies can’t go wrong with neutral colors.

So we had to buy two more different color of paints and more brushes, painters tapes.. etc.

-I'll probably stick with 3 or 4 shades of color, each room will have one wall color and an off white for the ceiling.

Buy similar colors and one of those 5-gallon buckets to mix it up in.And @Steve Vaughan, you can mix up your custom color, then pour the leftovers into a new paint can.

I already have a portion of important docs saved there (door key info, floorplans, maintenance manuals, paint colors, sku #s for materials, business docs like articles of incorporation, blank rental apps, estoppels, other info) so I have access to them remotely.
