Eu Investor in The USA - Looking for someone who did what I want

Hey, 

I am Mariesa, 26 , german.

Since 3 years now, I am educating myself financially in Real Estate Investing.

So far I know my target market, property type, investment strategy, the type of company I want to have and I have a network / team of people who can help me to get set up and maintain the long run. Its just waiting for me to get started.

However, I would like to fine someone, who is from Europe too and did what I want to do. How founded an entity in the USA , LLC and / or Umbrella company to buy real estate in the USA. I would like to hear your story and how everything came about for you. How did you get started ? To where I want to be it is still a way to go ( and fly ;)) and

currently, I find myself in a bit of a challenging situation. Some encouraging words and a success story will be helpful. Moreover I am looking for structure on how I can go on from here, for what is coming up next. I appreciate your time. 

So here is to me :) :

To invest in real estate I want to found an entity in the USA, Arizona. Therefore and for the down payment, I would like to apply for fund and grow business credit. I also have about 12 K of credit repair to do... To ask for most business credit in the USA I will need a Social security number and a registered address in the USA. 

So my question is what to do next ? 

A: Make a real Estate License in USA, then find a Broker as a sponsor (job) , get a Social Security Number and address, apply for business credit, set up the entity and buy real estate. 

> Thought: I am in contact with brokers, asked for possibility to get sponsored after license, see my options and go from there. Possibility I might not find a job... Real Estate Lisence would be beneficial anyway.

B: Private Credit is not an option. I don´t know any rich people who can lend me money.. Private loan from a bank might be, but it adds to bad personal negative credit score... Business credit without a Social Security number is possible in the USA but not easy, still might be an option. Do I get a Social security Number when I found an entity in the USA ? How do I get funding to set up my entity and have money for the down payment in the USA otherwise ? Does anyone has experience with credit builder loans, start up capitals, venture capital, or hard money loans ? 

> Thoughts:  I need more information

I hope this post will help me forward, and I would love to hear inspiring stories about how other people who were in my position made it through! 

* Love Mariesa
