First Investment while living abroad in New York

[Ben Grout]

Hi BP Community,

I'm new to bigger pockets, recently found the podcast and loving it.

I'm originally from London and have been living in New York for the last 2.5 years.

I've saved a chunk of money to use as a deposit for a house, but I'm looking to buy in the UK and because I'm living abroad mortgage providers will only provide me with 75% LTV.

This makes it harder for me to buy in the area of London I want.

Does anyone have any advice on finding financing at 80% or 85% LTV?

Thanks 😊

Ben
