Looking for Canadians investing in USA

Vancouver, BC · Member since 2017 · 24 posts · 12 votes

Hello everyone,

I used to live in Houston,TX and invested in 2 properties there. I moved to Canada few years ago and the real estate investing seems out of reach. I am interested in connecting with other Canadian investors investing in USA.

Hi Nishi, welcome to BiggerPockets! It’s great to hear you’re looking to invest in the US from Canada. Many Canadian investors focus on markets like Ohio, Texas, and Florida because of affordability and strong rental demand. If you want, I can share some insights and connect you with others investing in these areas. Let me know!

Hi Nishi. I'm a Canadian but moved to Florida in 2018 on an E2 Visa to invest in real estate full time. Similar to what I think you're noticing, I couldn't get the numbers to work the way they would in the U.S. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Thank you Giuseppe. Are you investing only in Florida?
If you dont mind, I would like to connect over a call and talk about the market. I intend to invest from here, so I will need a good team in USA.

Hi there, I’m originally from Canada but currently based in the U.S. I’ve been active in real estate investing here and also work with a lending company, so I often see how financing strategies can make deals work more smoothly. I’d be happy to connect and share experiences or tips for Canadians investing across the border
Thanks Syed. Would you be available sometime next week for a quick 15 mins call?

Nishi, I wish I saw this question before. I am a Canadian who moved to Austin, TX in 2011 and then on and off lived between Toronto and Austin until 2018 when I moved back to Toronto. I had an active portfolio that I have been managing remotely since then. My take on it is, if its a residential dewelling I try to maximize it by getting it to AirBnB (furnished) standard and getting a local co-host (at 20%). If its land/zoning deal I can do most of that on-line to save on the flight and travel cost back to Austin. I write a blog on www.thepropertyjunkie.com whenever I can on my learnings, but feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions. Recent findings are Austin, ROI is down but San Antonio is still stable as I got it when market was low. But overall I am thankful for exchagne rate arbirtrage.
