I worked with immigrant construction workers for $30 for 10-hour days after I was unable to find a job of any sort.

I might be pretty biased about Texas but it will continue to go well as long as it gets all the people immigration.  

Those jobs created by businesses and expanse gave rise to mass immigration.

but I want to try to get a loan with 60-70% LTV, so I can do 2 or 3 deals at the same time (for my immigration I need to do a bout 10 deals a year and I just did 6 in 18 months.... 

i am not sure if you can differentiate legally based on legal immigration status.

Phil:Have a look at the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offerings for immigrants (and residents).

Also be aware that most immigrants (adult immigrants at least) will have a much lower score than a comparable citizen due to a much shorter than average credit history. 

I would keep a close eye on the immigration policies which would influence prices much more than the 15% tax.

In 3 words, "The American Dream"Legacy of financial freedom and independence for my children.I grew up with extremely dedicated 1st generation immigrant parents who sacrificed a tremendous amount of their life for their children and no amount of money can replace their love and hard work for my sister and I.However, as they face retirement - hard work was not enough to keep them from depending on government social security and their kids.  

It is no wonder immigrants and foreign workers are kicking our collective asses.
