In the USA, all it takes to buy a house is money. A wealthy person sitting anywhere can buy a home with a email, and a few clicks, or a phone call. All it takes is money.
If a person can't legally live in the home he bought, why are we selling it to them? I know the answer, but don't like it.
I don't know of any other country that makes buying our land so dam easy.
(I only know U.S.A. realestate, but care about Canadians.)
