Can Canadians Buy and Sell American Real Estate Without Moving There?

Want Us To Be Your Mentors? https://www.fruitfulinvestingacademy.... Can a Canadian actually buy U.S. real estate without a visa? 🇺🇸 This week, it's just us. Mat Piche and Andrew Hines answer one of the questions we get most: how are two Canadians buying property across the U.S., and can you do it too? We built our business for TWO YEARS before we ever got our E-2 visas. The buying process is closer to Canada's than most people think. The traps are in what you say at the border, and what you do once you're there. I n this episode, we break down: 🏠 Buying in the U.S. vs. Canada: title companies, escrow and what's actually different 🏘️ Why U.S. neighbourhoods can change street by street, and why school zones matter for your comps 🧭 Buying in your personal name vs. a company, and the privacy trade-off we've seen 🏛️ Why we didn't wait for our E-2 visas to start building the business 💡 What changed after our E-2s: a Social Security number, a Florida driver's licence and a FICO score 🚪 Andrew's first trips to Youngstown, Ohio in 2012, and what he learned about crossing the border as an investor 🧱 Why "investor" and "worker" are two very different answers, at the border and at the consulate 🤝 The tough questions we got at our visa interviews, and why being prepared mattered 🚀 Why the right team matters: a builder we know who answered one question wrong and had to reapply Owning U.S. property as a Canadian is more doable than most people think. Getting the details right, with the right professionals, is what keeps it that way.
