Canadian buying property in USA

Jean Giurguis

Posted

Hey Everyone,

I am a Canadian who is on a work visa (L1A), living in America.

I am looking to buy a property, as a primary residence.

What are my options for loans? Is it just regular? Are there specific lenders that deal with Canadians?

I have been living in America for approximately 9 months and have one year of W2.

Any information or a step in the right direction would help a ton. Thanks in advance.

Hey Jean,

Since you are on a W2 there should be no problem for you to get a loan and buy a primary residence.

You can reach out to a mortgage broker and give them your informations and they will tell you what you're approved for and what documents you need. 

I would be happy. to put you in contact with a few brokers that I had good experience with in the past if you want me to. 

Good luck!
