When I first got interested in US investing, I joined a "Guru" who promised quick riches by buying US real estate as a Canadian.  

I'm wondering what options are out there for financing to foreigners - I am Canadian, my husband is British (and Canadian permanent resident).

Be sure to check out the local BP meetup held monthly, usually in the royal oak/Berkley area.

I'm a Canadian that lives in the California.

Even so, many of those that have been in arrears had cable tv, cigarettes, beer in the fridge, and a bottle of Crown Royal on a high shelf.

Dan,Yes, renting is always an option but last resort in my case: As a Canadian  refinancing of  the property is limited - best case scenario I can get 65% LTV with pretty high rate. this means a lot of my money will be "buried" in the property. my understanding  rent I can get is around  $1100/1200 so not so great in terms of cash flow. add the fact I am far away which means  extra costs in property management and often repairs of such old house will be higher. so bottom line selling still seems the best option unless price I can get really sucks.

Just make sure you fully repay the amount prior to your introductory period ending or else you will royally screw yourself with 24.9% interest rates.  

@Pragya Singh@Scott Smith and his team at Royal Legal Solutions are the ones for the job.Good luck!

If you don't do this properly the thing will jam and piss you off royally!

I drive a 1993 Oldsmobile royale with 98k miles that i got from an old lady for cash. and im currently Looking for the same situation but with a 4 cylinder foreign car.My dream car is a lambo but it will be twenty years before that makes any sense to buy.
