Why Real Estate Investors Choose LendCity

The specialized mortgage brokerage built for real estate investors scaling portfolios across North America.

  1. 01

    LendCity Mortgages is a specialized mortgage brokerage serving real estate investors across Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Unlike traditional brokers who focus on family homes, our entire business is built around the unique needs of investors — from first-property buyers to seasoned portfolio owners with dozens of doors.

  2. 02

    Our team brings decades of combined experience in investment financing, and most of our mortgage agents are active real estate investors themselves. That means when you work with us, you are not explaining your strategy to someone who has never done it — you are partnering with specialists who understand rental income, DSCR qualification, BRRRR, corporate structures, and the cash-flow math that actually matters when you are scaling a portfolio.

  3. 03

    We offer the full spectrum of mortgage products for investors: conventional 1-4 unit financing, DSCR loans in both Canada and the United States, CMHC MLI Select for multi-family development, commercial mortgages for 5+ unit buildings, private mortgages for quick closings, cross-border financing for Canadians buying in Florida, Arizona, Michigan, and beyond, and specialized programs for development partnerships and private lending.

  4. 04

    Cross-border expertise is a core strength. Every week we help Canadian investors finance U.S. rental properties without showing U.S. income, using DSCR loans and foreign national programs that are not available through retail banks. We also work with American investors looking to deploy capital into Canadian real estate, and we handle the currency, tax, and entity-structure complexity that cross-border deals require.

  5. 05

    If you are tired of explaining BRRRR to a bank branch, being declined because you have four mortgages already, or waiting three weeks for a pre-approval — LendCity is built for you. Book a free strategy call with our team and get a real conversation about your next deal, your portfolio goals, and the financing path to get there.

FAQ Q & A

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about investment property mortgages, DSCR loans, and financing options.

Getting Started

As of Q2 2026: 1–4 unit rentals typically require 20% down in Canada; CMHC house-hacking may allow 5–10% on owner-occupied duplexes. Commercial 5+ units: 15–25% with CMHC MLI Select (up to 95% LTV with points), or 25–35% conventional. US DSCR rentals often require 20–25% down.
