I'll certainly be keeping that in mind as we become landlords - it will be a business, but we'll try not to screw good people over who display that they are good tenants.

I live on the Bushwick/Ridgewood border, right near the Jackie Robinson, so I'm similarly open to parts of Queens and the Bronx as target areas.

Preferably within driving distance, but I live close to the SC/NC border anyway.

Am I not calculating certain risk from being so close to the border with all the political/migration issues going on around there?

Elmira and Waverly are on the New York side of the border.

I am just on the other side of the Idaho border in Hayden.

I'm a transplant from Canada, moved here (Bay Area, CA) about a year ago, and taking up permanent residence in the US.I have an investment property and other things (i.e retirement accounts and so on) back in Canada, looking for a CPA here that can help me with the straight forward stuff (filing taxes every year and so on) as well as advisory from time to time (whether it's dealing with cross border strategies to minimize the tax bites, or the same with US investment properties).I have an accountant in Canada as well so this person doesn't necessarily have to be say, a CGA/CA or whatever in Canada as well (but super bonus points if they are and can do both my US / Canadian returns!)

Since you're near the border you should join us tonight at our real estate investing networking group!

You may want to have a look south of the borders!

That way all you have to do is double click on the group and all the reports can be displayed or printed.
