A good family friend bought 2 fairly large American companies at the deepest part of the recession, both companies employ like 20-30 people and have testing labs to give certification similar to CSA type stuff, he also bought 2 properties with cash basically and he is still in the Process of getting the dual citizenship/extended visa so yea it seems Pretty tough to move/work in the states Permanently Posted via RS Mobile |

As a US citizen guess you will get drafted to go to war  | |

talked to someone on the plane who are from michigan....the whole state seems to be a bargain (not just detroit) where 100K can get you a large mansion...normal housing is around 50K....

There's currently some issues with titles on foreclosed properties but if you're properly insured for those instances there's good buys. Heck even if you just hop the boarder into Washington State you can pick up houses for a fraction of what we pay up here.
I have a friend who laments the fact that he's renting a $600/sq foot place in Yaletown that he'll never be able to afford to buy. But he now owns a lovely house in Palm Springs that he picked up for all of $60K and makes a tidy bit of money renting out when he's not down there for vacations.
For example: http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...930?source=web
3 bed rooms, 4 baths on 11 acres... with a baseball diamond and barn.... 279K in Blaine. Foreclosure.
