If you are worried about transition from Canada to US you can use a DSCR loan program. 

Quote from @Jason Wray: Yes, you can use an FHA 203K program or even convert it to Fannie mae and use a renovation loan if the LTC/ARV allows.Cool thanks for the info!  

I've since created a similar program within my office and it's a profit center.

Looks like there is one program that has not closed yet in Ohio, maybe not the right county, but I would call anyway, they typically know who else could help.https://nlihc.org/rental-assistance?

If you Bank/Lender does not allow it you can refinace the mortgage into a DSCR or true Portfolio loan program. 

That said, not all companies have these programs.

This has also allowed us to provide some excellent incentives for our investors, locking in long term debt currently at 3.75%  through our in house financing program.

The property was my primary residence for a decade and now functions as rental unit so I am happy with the purchase overall and it has worked out well.

My friend spent $81,000 on marketing and told me he could not trace one sale to a lead generated by the program and that the program generated almost no leads anyway.  

I agree that DealCheck (or the BP calculator) does not provide enough tools or functionality to analyze those types of transactions (yet).But I would argue that it does a great job at analyzing more traditional buy & hold SFRs and multi-families, as well as flips and rehab projects.
