For Canadians

US Investment Property Financing Without US Income

Conventional US mortgages require US credit history, employment, and tax returns that Canadian investors don't have. DSCR loans bypass all of that — qualifying you on the property's rental income alone.

No US Income Verification

No W-2s, no US tax returns, no employment verification. Your property's rental income is the only qualification factor — the lender calculates your DSCR ratio by dividing monthly rent by the total monthly mortgage payment.

No US Credit Required

Foreign national programs don't require a US credit score or any US credit history at all. Some lenders accept Canadian credit reports from Equifax or TransUnion Canada, while others qualify purely on the property's cash flow.

Close in Your LLC

DSCR loans close directly in your US LLC, with the entity listed as the borrower on the mortgage. This provides liability protection, separates personal and investment assets, and simplifies multi-property management.

30-Year Fixed Rates

Lock in a 30-year fixed rate with no balloon payments and no rate adjustments — ever. Your monthly payment stays the same for the life of the loan, providing predictable cash flow for decades.

Unlimited Properties

No cap on the number of DSCR loans you can have. Scale your US portfolio as fast as you can find profitable deals — each property qualifies independently on its own rental income.

Full Cross-Border Support

We handle the entire cross-border process from Canada — LLC formation, US bank account setup, lender matching, international wire coordination, and closing logistics.

FAQ

Questions About DSCR Loans for Canadians

Everything Canadian investors need to know about US DSCR loans.

Qualification for Canadians

Yes. DSCR loans are available to Canadian investors as foreign nationals. You don't need US credit history, a Social Security Number, US employment, or US tax returns. The loan qualifies entirely on the property's rental income.
Canadian investors need: a valid passport, 25-30% down payment, a US bank account, and a property with a DSCR of 1.0 or higher.
We connect you with cross-border legal specialists who set up a US LLC (typically in the state where you're buying or in Wyoming/Delaware for flexibility).

Process & Rates

Most lenders require a minimum DSCR of 1.0 for foreign national borrowers, meaning the property's monthly rent must at least cover the monthly mortgage payment.
Foreign national DSCR rates are typically 0.5-1.5% higher than domestic US investor rates, currently ranging from 7-9% depending on profile and terms.
No. DSCR loans qualify exclusively on the US property's rental income, not income from Canadian properties.

Eligibility & Property Types

DSCR loans are available for most residential investment property types including single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes.
