An amazing resource if you can translate all the American jargon to our Canadian systems.

@Kyle Keller American Financial Resources or find a broker approved with them in your state

I admire the way Americans do business.

I like Accuplan (American Estate and Trust).  

Refinancing would be great but remember,you want a lender with no points and no junk fees.Do some research before you commit to a lender.New American Funding and the like offer deals like this and you'll be glad you did.Ask about paying points for the sole purpose of buying down the interest rate,not to give them unnecessary profits.

Also to Roy's point, the content is very american and you will have to read a bit between the lines.

Ha and so lot of people that get a letter, no matter how well it explains the process, just will not understand it, think its a scam, throw it away or not read it because it is cutting into their American Idol time.Then again, door knocking can get pretty expensive when you are driving all over town, half the people dont answer their door, the other half is at work and the third half thinks you are trying to do a home invasion lol.

If a resident owns their own home, as the landlord you can require they keep the home insured to standards you set as a condition of you allowing them to rent a lot.If you own the home and rent it to them, you can also require they carry insurance to the standards you set as a condition of allowing them to rent the home.The earlier comment suggesting specific insurance companies like Foremost or American Modern are spot on, because they are two of only five companies that will write the specific type of insurance you want in place.

I've heard on the news the best way to help is through a monetary donation to the American Red Cross if you are out-of-state or live far.

Born in the Philippines Island, grew up in Hawaii, and now living in the San Antonio, TX area which I claimed as the 10th Island - since it's very expensive to live in Hawaii where $719,000 is median home, I decided to bring the Hawaii culture here in SATX where $175K is the median home price.I became an accident landlord when a townhouse I cosigned when I was only 25-years old was about to foreclose on by American Savings Bank in Hawaii.
