  • From Day One to Today — Still a Favorite for Canadian Investor

    I’ve been a longtime listener of Sarah’s podcast — it’s been a steady source of inspiration and practical advice throughout my real estate investing journey as a Canadian. I was so excited to hear that Kelly is now co-hosting! She’s offered me incredibly helpful guidance personally, and I know her insights are a huge asset to the show. Can’t wait to keep tuning in and learn from both of these women and their knowledgeable guests.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Flipping US Land for 50 Cents on the Dollar
Q: How did you set up your structure from a Canadian investing in the US because you don't want to be double taxed?
Piché says Canadians generally need a US C Corporation and a limited partnership, while cautioning that the right structure depends on individual circumstances and should be reviewed with an accountant. He strongly advises Canadians against using an LLC because it can create double-tax problems.
Flipping US Land for 50 Cents on the Dollar
Q: How are you finding land, estimating that it is worth 50 cents on the dollar, and approaching the seller?
Piché says his team uses public data to build targeted seller lists, then contacts owners by cold call and other marketing. They focus on recreational land, often owned by people living out of state who have little emotional attachment to the property.
Building a US Real Estate Portfolio as a Canadian
Q: What does the E-2 visa entail at a high level, and why would a Canadian consider it?
The E-2 visa allows you to live in the US for up to five years if you run an active business, with potential tax advantages and the possibility of future green-card pathways if living in the US; it requires creating a real, active business with employees.
Building a US Real Estate Portfolio as a Canadian
Q: Glenn, welcome to the show. How are you doing?
I'm doing awesome and excited to discuss the US investment path for Canadians and how you can structure deals and visas for cross-border opportunities.
Real Estate Taxes, AI Audits, and Staying Ahead of the CRA
Q: So I've bought property under my personal name so far, but I wanted to ask you, when should I incorporate or should I ever?
In practice, many investors start by holding properties personally to keep bookkeeping simple and then transition to a corporation as they scale into larger or more complex properties, like commercial assets, or when relationships (such as a spousal split) necessitate separation; incorporating earlier can help with asset protection and tax planning for larger portfolios, but it adds complexity and compliance costs.
