We live in a (mostly) free society where they can accept what you're offering or they can buy from someone else.

I look at about 1,000 properties a week and have clients all over the country including Ohio.If you could put your price range, down payment, expected cap rate, tenant type, location such as suburban or urban core, etc. then I could quickly tell you if what you are looking for is a 1 in 100 or a 1 in 5,000 property.

-Infill lots - Selling land in more urban spaces.- Building on the land - This has so many ways to about it, that it can get really fascinating.

which with the forest fires we see today in cA.. that did allow urbanization into land that was forest in history we are seeing the drastic results.. and even in Oregon a few towns burnt down although not really because of urbanization into the forest like the Sierra Nevada has. we are looking at a specific county in WA and that county still has NO Zoning  everything just gets approved by project.. this is good and bad.. there is a time and place to separate manufacoring from SFR and commercial from SFR. 

An urban, racially and ethnically diverse neighborhood with high rises and 6 flats and single family homes on small lots....and the richest county in Michigan generally filled with woods, lakes, and suburban homes on large lots. 

The mortgages were not paid and went into foreclosure, resulting in losses of over $3 million since the lenders were only able to recover a fraction of the outstanding mortgage balances when they sold the properties after foreclosure.This prosecution was brought by the Mortgage Fraud Task Force, made up of investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the United States Secret Service; the United States Postal Inspection Service; the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General; and the Lansing Police Department.

I also prefer Urban homes connected to city water and city sewer.

Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

While Canada may be a less litigious society than the U.S.A., the core of the issue is you are not responsible for illegal behaviour of others - your tenants in this case - unless you knowingly condone or enable those illegal activities.

Property owners have operating expenses that are rising just as fast as everything else in society.
