Why Maple Syrup Money
Education built for the Canadian investor
Most real estate investing content is built for US audiences. We've built this specifically for Canadians — addressing the cross-border tax, legal, and banking realities that generic courses ignore.
Legal & Entity Structure
Understand how US entity types (LLC, LP, C-Corp) interact with Canadian tax law — and why getting this wrong can trigger double taxation. We explain the nuances in plain language.
Banking & Money Movement
Open a US business bank account remotely, move money across borders efficiently, and build US credit from zero — all using the right tools and in the right sequence.
Tax on Both Sides
Navigate CRA obligations (T1135, worldwide income), IRS filings (1040-NR, FBAR, FIRPTA), and the Canada-US Tax Treaty — so you don't pay tax twice on the same income.
