Cross-border investing refers to Canadian real estate investors purchasing, financing, or managing properties in the United States or other foreign countries, which involves navigating different tax systems, financing requirements, currency exchange risks, and legal frameworks. This strategy allows Canadians to diversify their portfolios geographically and potentially access markets with lower property prices, higher rental yields, or stronger appreciation potential than their domestic market.
