Financing US Rental Property in Florida — for Canadians

Florida is the top US market for Canadian investors. DSCR loans let you qualify on rental income alone — no US credit score, no W-2s, and close in your US LLC.

Why Canadians Finance in Florida with DSCR

Cross-border bank programs are slow and require US banking relationships. DSCR financing is built for foreign nationals: the property's cash flow drives approval, not your Canadian T4.

FAQQ & A

Florida Financing FAQ

Common questions from Canadian investors financing US rentals.

Florida DSCR Basics

Yes. DSCR loans qualify on the property's rental income divided by the full mortgage payment (PITIA). Your Canadian employment and tax returns are not required.
Most foreign national DSCR programs require 25–30% down on purchases. Lower LTV may be available for strong DSCR and experienced investors.
No. Foreign-national DSCR programs are built for Canadians without a US FICO. Some lenders review Equifax Canada; others underwrite purely on DSCR, down payment, and reserves.

Florida Closing & STR

Yes. Most Florida DSCR lenders allow entity closing. An LLC is common for liability and banking; we coordinate lender entity rules before you wire earnest money.
Selected lenders use market rent or STR projections (often AirDNA or trailing 12-month statements) for Orlando, Gulf Coast, and other vacation markets. Local STR ordinances still apply.
Typical files close in about 30–45 days once the entity, insurance, appraisal, and reserve documentation are in place — faster than most cross-border bank programs.
