Hey guys, in this episode, I’m sitting down with Mayer and Ronen from Mbanc to talk about a game-changing opportunity for Canadian investors looking to buy property in the U.S. We dive into how they identified a massive gap in foreign national lending and created a seamless mortgage solution tailored specifically for Canadians.
