Can anyone advise the best structure for both tax and liability for Canadians investing in US real estate for buy/holds and flips?  This would be eventually for a larger number of properties in the 50+ range (single family homes and apartment units).

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am looking at investing in Ohio, single family home rentals.  In particular, the area of Lima and its surrounding area.  One scenario floated across to me are homes in the 25-30K range with rentals around 300-400.  Is this a norm there?  Also, can anyone share about the 

1. is Ohio a good place to invest
2. economy
3. major industries
4. demograhpics
5. tenancy act if landlord or tenant biased
6. quality of renters that are paying in this range
7. difficulties in holding a large number of these (100+ homes)

Thanks very much!

I'm a Canadian looking to invest in multi-family properties in the US, and maybe do some rehab and flips of smaller properties.  Seems to be so many more opportunities there than here.  Would appreciate advice or discussions on the best approach for:

1. legal structure for purchasing properties under

2. Tax implications and best approach

3. Getting mortgages with local US banks as a foreign investor

4. What a Canadian is NOT allowed to do (ie. hammering a nail into your own property, collecting rent?)

Thanks in advance!
