In version 1, the template is set as a global setting.

I am currently looking for a hard money lender ($125 K Canadian Funds) for 4 months.

This guy has spent a while debating a lot of people, and has came to a conclusion that I think most will agree with:

The speculation tax only applies to non-residents who are not Canadian citizens.  

Will it make a big impact in the US housing market if those foreign investors stopped making a loan payment when they have global crisis?

It will take a little while I imagine but having a 4hr travel time is a good measure to have as well, so if you are ever needed, you can make the trip out there relatively quickly.I'm also debating if I should buy in cash or try to get a mortgage, which is harder to get for Canadians, so I've got a few doors to knock on still but it's encouraging to see people making out of state investments so often now.

I am a pretty big video game geek that works remotely for an indie game publisher called Raw Fury that is based in Stockholm, doing global marketing and brand strategy.

It will pay off for you in the long run.I have NO crystal ball, but I cannot believe that the int rates will continue to rise, the global economy is not that strong and if the dollar rises too far, it could cause economies overseas (to fail) and this will rattle the markets and people do not buy, anything, when they are nervous.

@Nicole Heasley The more times you go through the process the easier it will be to know what banks want to see but in general,  A personal financial statement (list of debts and assets--shows net worth), a summary of your current cash flows (shows where your money comes from and goes to AKA a global cash flow statement), tax returns (for non commercial loans), a bio (tells about you and your team), a deal summary (info about the current deal) and maybe a summary of prior deals that are similar that you have done

@ Mary Jay - your post made me laughI used to own some $400K rental properties in Phoenix, and everytime I went over, I kept thinking "man, with this global warming, in 20 year, phoenix is going to inhabitable..."
