All 50 States

Finance investment properties anywhere in the United States. From Florida condos and Gulf Coast vacation rentals to Ohio duplexes and Texas single-family homes β€” we cover every market. Our lender network includes programs for all major metros, secondary markets, and rural investment areas with no geographic restrictions.

DSCR Qualification

Qualify on the property's rental income, not your Canadian employment. No US credit, no W-2s, no tax returns β€” the deal speaks for itself. The lender simply divides the monthly rent by the total mortgage payment to calculate your DSCR ratio. A ratio of 1.0 or above means you qualify.

LLC Protection

Close in a US LLC for liability protection, ensuring your personal assets in Canada are shielded from any claims related to the property. Unlike Canada where most investors hold property personally, US LLC structures create a legal separation between your investment and personal net worth.

30-Year Fixed Rates

Lock in predictable payments for 30 years with no balloon payments and no rate surprises. Unlike Canadian mortgages that renew every 5 years, your US rate is fixed for the entire 30-year term. Current foreign national rates range from 7-9% depending on your profile.

Market Guidance

We help Canadians identify the best US markets for their investment goals β€” maximum cash flow in Cleveland/Memphis, long-term appreciation in Tampa/Phoenix, or short-term rental income in Orlando/Gatlinburg. Our analysis includes cap rates and rent-to-price ratios.

Portfolio Scaling

No limit on the number of DSCR loans you can hold simultaneously. Start with one property and scale to 10, 20, or more β€” each property qualifies independently on its own rental income. Many clients add 2-3 properties per year using equity.
