And there are so many books that we haven’t read yet, that I worry I might fall in trap of reading and not taking action.If USA is the only option to invest for cash flow, does anyone here have an experience in investing in USA while still living in Canada?

Putting drylok on the inside may reduce the amount of water entering in the short term but failing to address the pressure issue on the outside will just make the problem worse over time as the water isn’t prevented from coming into the wall itself as only the inside is sealed, so it just gets trapped in the wall, further degrading the structural integrity of the wall.

I actually dont mind telling people, they have no idea how it correlates to money, and most think you have a huge amount of money borrowed, the other one i like is How do you pay for all of them, my response is "the bank has a lot of money" most think you borrow it, and a few will think thats where you store your stash, either way they still have no clue, one set of people will think you are trapped and struggling, and others will think your loaded, all the while you look back at them, knowing they stock shelves at WalMart or are a cashier at a gas station, and think how bad their lives must suck living day to day. 

In 5 years, if you are borrowing at 7-8% you will be happy to dedicate the extra cash flow to paying down newer mortgages instead of having it trapped in a 15 year because it saved 50bps.
