I would like to know people who have bought properties in the USA and used refinance from the USA while being a foreigner investor.I have one rental property and would like to use the equity in it to expand my portfolio.I have heard of Lima Capital but i talked to one of their agents and he told me that they stopped their foreigners programs. 

From a logical perspective it's gotta be this way, otherwise the best strategy becomes max leverage all the time no matter what and the currency collapses.

We favor British common law countries because of their property rights and often foreigners can own property with little to no restrictions.  

You can go the private money lender route, you can get funding with green card status or foreign national.

I have been studying and trading Forex, Stocks (stocks not so much) and Crypto currencies (just recently started Nov. 2017) part time since I was 18 years old so have a clear understanding of value and how it fluctuates based on a number of variables, and think i have an amazing leverage over the average noob.

@Lorin K.Although Vancouver is ranked third least affordable in this year's Demographia report; yielding second place to Sidney, Australia, its median multiple {housing price to income ratio} rose from 10.6 to 10.8 meaning things became even less affordable.While foreign investment is a big driver in the frothy Vancouver housing market, it's not the only factor at play.On a national level , Canada held onto the dubious honour of being second on the list of countries where housing is least affordable - the median market remained flat nationally, but improved slightly when just the major metropolitan centres are considered.Toronto - Canada's second most foamy market - saw its median multiple rise from 6.5 to 6.7 - ranking it 330th out of 367 cities in order of decreasing affordability.

I'm an attorney and foreign-language translator and am beginning my R/E investment education.

Look, I know the whole concept of a 1031 exchnage can feel a bit like reading a foreign language at first, but trust me, once you wrap your head around it, you might never look at property taxes the same way.

@Shawn Smith we've got several clients from Toronto and also Vancouver.So, we've got referrals for experienced tax attorneys, CPA's, etc. for Canadians and foreigner investors in general.What are you purchase criteria?

In spite of that, more and more foreigners visit, move to, invest and buy real estate Mexico year after year.
