You and I both know that NYC is flooded with foreign capital driving the RE prices through the roof, and consequently the surrounding communities are seeing an explosion in housing prices as rents force people from their neighborhoods.   

If not, I'm happy to discuss other options that I've helped foreign investors find.  

Check out LimaOne Capital, they will do loans for foreign investors, actual 30yr loans at about 8% rate with only 25% down, 1-2% loan orig fee. 

Also, the state where the properties are may want you to file paperwork to notify them them that this "foreign" (out of state) entity is doing business in their state.  

I am focusing on working with out of state and foreign investors to be their boots on the ground, and help them find properties that fit their needs. 

It will really help me out going forward, and I have since found a online calculator to help with those foreign numbers.

However, all this is a bit misleading- inflation also has a part in this equation- getrification, foreign investment money, etc. etc.Every strategy is good- just depends on what works for you.

We have reasons to be a C corp (foreign investors etc).I've been looking to get into real-estate investments for a while and have had issues with initial funding.  

Foreign investors can not secure a conventional 20% down loan like we can.

The Finance Minister announced steps to curb the influx of foreign capital into the Canadian Real Estate Market  (in which he really meant TO and Vancouver ... down east we are not really suffering from the influx of foreign money ... sure we lost a 50-unit deal a couple of years ago to a Chinese investor, but the property was not worth what s/he paid, so we'll see it back on the market eventually).That said, Ottawa is only removing a loophole which has allowed foreigners to purchase a residence in Canada, claim it as their principal residence and then benefit from the personal residence {captial gains} tax exemption when they sell.
