Why Choose Cross-Border Loans?

Dual-Licensed Expert

David Nataf holds NMLS #2613311 (U.S.) and AMF #3001986744 (Quebec). One of very few professionals licensed in both countries, ensuring compliant cross-border transactions.

Bank Financing, Not Hard Money

Direct relationships with institutional lenders offering 6.5-7.5% rates. Many Canadians are unknowingly paying 10-15% through hard money lenders — we refinance them into proper bank financing.

Canadian Credit Accepted

Canadian Equifax credit reports are accepted directly by our lending partners. This gives Canadians a significant advantage over other foreign nationals who require manual credit underwriting.

25+ Years Experience

Extensive banking and credit experience spanning both Canadian and U.S. financial systems. Offices in Montreal, QC and Boca Raton, FL. Fully bilingual English and French service.

Trapped in a Hard Money Loan?

Many Canadians are paying 10-15% interest through hard money lenders when they could be at 6.5-7.5% with proper bank financing. We specialize in rescuing foreign nationals from predatory lending — typical savings of $6,000-$12,000+ per year.
