@Christopher BaileyThanks Chris (that’s my brother’s name so I was like what?!

@Christopher B.

@Christopher Stanis this is smart and it makes sense to me. 

thanks @Christopher Phillips for the info - i just checked with my bank - the RBC bank and they do have a mortgage solutions for the properties in the US, i called for an appointment,but is this the best option, for instance what if i try to start a company based in the US - a local LLC, would it be easier (or cheaper), do you have / or heard about the abroad investors using the local US solutions for finance their business in the Statesdon't get me wrong - i don't have any problems with my credit score nor with the financial institutions in Canada, i'm just looking for the best deal...

@Christopher Phillips thanks for the input, that help a lot.

Was just going to say what @Christopher Phillips said.

@Christopher Giannino thank you Chris, and yes thats the biggest reason I'm doing it because when I approach investors I wanted to be able to bring something to the table instead of seeming like Im there just for them to help me.  

@Christopher Dunn    Take your own questions and do research .  

@Christopher Kolasa  Is this for owner occupied- that is a possibility to get them negotiated removed for.
