How silly it may seem, nowadays there are a lot of Canadians who rush down the US and purchase the property just because it is on sale. As the Canadian dollar keeps its strength, the economy of the US maintains its constancy, that is why the prices for houses are much lower than they were in recent years in the US; nevertheless a lot of Canadians still are thinking that their adorable destinations are experiencing the biggest sale that has ever been. And they hurry up in a wild frenzy to purchase a place…. or sometimes it s happens that they even hasten to make a purchase, not even having a look at what they are going to buy!

If you have thoughts as for purchasing estate in the US, then below there are some hints for you to keep in mind before putting up money on some property:

* It will be an investment estate or a property for way of life, won t it? The answer to this question contains the following information about the place and the maintenance of the estate that plays a great role. Also, be sure that you obtain a tax planning advice because you may be subjected to pay taxes both in two countries if you have not made everything properly for getting an investment property.

* Where do you plan to keep the estate? Make sure you have an easy access from your home in Canada as well as other things you are searching for.

* In what way the property will be maintained.

* How will the estate be financed? (Most people achieve financing in Canada, paying cash for their estate in the US, but there are funding programs accessible for citizens of Canada in the US in case you have put a big amount of money down on the estate).
