If you are savvy with construction, then you should look into "really depressed" properties in Harris county.I wish we have that type of properties here in OC, Ca  :)Good luck

Now if you do want to go conventionally, Canadians can get financing through Canadian banks who have US Affiliates (Example:BMO bank and Harris Bank) There are restrictions and guidelines to obtaining financing this way, but if you do manage you can get a great rate.

@Don Harris Thank you for the tip!

Thank You Ben Hughes and Richard Harris!
