US Multi-Family Financing for Canadians
From duplexes to apartment buildings, finance multi-family properties across the US with programs designed for Canadian foreign national investors. DSCR loans for 2-4 unit residential properties qualify on rental income with 30-year fixed rates and 25% down. For 5+ unit apartment buildings, commercial programs underwrite on the building's Net Operating Income (NOI) with competitive terms.

Multiple Units, Multiple Income Streams
Multi-family properties reduce your risk through diversified income and scale. One vacancy doesn't wipe out your cash flow. We finance everything from duplexes to 100+ unit apartment buildings for Canadian investors.
Small Multi-Family DSCR
Finance duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes with DSCR loans — the same simple qualification as single-family properties, but with multiple income streams reducing your vacancy risk.
Apartment Building Financing
5+ unit commercial programs available for Canadian investors, underwritten on the building's Net Operating Income (NOI) rather than personal financials.
Value-Add Opportunities
Finance the acquisition and renovation of underperforming buildings to increase rents, reduce operating expenses, and refinance at the higher stabilized value.
No US Credit Required
Foreign national programs for both residential (2-4 unit) and commercial (5+ unit) multi-family properties. Your property's income drives qualification — not your personal US credit history.
NOI Analysis
We analyze the building's full financial picture — gross rental income, vacancy loss, operating expenses, and reserves — to structure the optimal financing.
LLC Entity Structuring
Close in your US LLC for liability protection, which is especially important for multi-family where more tenants means more potential exposure.
