Once the money starts flowing I would then use a percentage of profits to contribute to local or global causes.

Welcome to BP, great to see more Canadian investors on here! 

Can Canadians wholesale US properties?

Naturally, I'm Canadian, so I need someone who understands both Canadian and US tax laws.Ideally, if they were located in Markham or Richmond Hill, it would make it even better!

Hi Mark P,I posted an article here a month ago from the Canadian Real Estate Magazine titled, Investment strategy for Canada's Wealthy.  

I just tried to get financing on a commercial property with a 3:1 DSCR and was denied because my global DTI was greater than the bank's requirements.

I've given people I know who trust me personal guarantees and got loans for 1/2 my downpayment (they know I'm good for it as I can cover the debt on a global cash flow level).

But the internet told me it had cheap houses, one of the highest global crime rates, and awesome rental returns, so I did what any wise investor would do and spent all my savings on a rundown out-of-state rental property.

Canadians have a strong bias towards using Realtors and banks and generally don't know about the alternatives, so as a wholesaler there's not only the privacy issues, but a basic trust issue when asking a stranger to sell me their house.So Tiago, you suggest driving for dollars and just straight up knocking on those doors?

My property manager has done a fair amount of these in Oklahoma and Canadian counties.
