US resident wants to buy in Canada Ask an
My question is: Applicable to both US and Canada QUESTION: I am an americcan (U.S.) citizen. I would like to buy income properties in Canada as investment. Can a canadian bank finance my investment or How can I go about to find fund for financing. I am also not a resident in Canada. Thank you --------------------------------------------------------------------------- david ingram replies: Of course a Canadian Bank will finance you if you have a 35% down payment and a great credit rating. With some creative financing, you can likely get buy with less down but 35% will just about always get you financed. You need a good mortgage broker in Canada. If you are going to be buying in the lower mainland of BC try Joan Marsh (604) 535-9981 and / or Glen Kelleway (604) 476-0053 for some creative mortgage financing. Christine Louw at ReMax (604) 202-9957 - christinelouw at shaw.ca and John McKilligan of Care Realty at (604) 687-5050 are two realtors with a lot of experience dealing with out of the country buyers.
