"Over the past 2 years, credit has been tightening, specifically for real estate investors," says Kyle Green of Mortgage Alliance (1-888-531-8890 or cell 604-551-8976, kyle@homelinecanada.com). "One of the 'soft' rules that have been hurting a number of clients with good credit and cash flowing portfolios has been liquid assets. Just as someone would tell you to diversify your portfolio if you had it all tied up in stocks, the same rule now is applied to real estate. The banks are now looking for investors with strong portfolios but with liquid assets that will assist you if a roof goes on one property, a hot water tank on another, and some vacancies mixed in. Some banks want to see $100,000 or more in liquid assets, so be prepared!"
