Gimme some money!
I'm having a really hard time finding a lender.
I'm a non-resident alien.....no green card and no social security number.
I can prove an income of well over 6 digits through bank statements for the past 2 years.
I own 8 properties with a value of over $500,000.
I'm looking for either a renovation loan or a new purchase financing. For the later, I can make a $150,000 down-payment.
No one will give me a loan, except for hard money lenders. I refuse to go the hard money route and pay over 10% interest.
I've spoken to a dozen banks and mortgage brokers and keep getting a big fat NO.
Does anyone have any secret loan or financing scheme out there that they want to share with me?

Nat,
Try Chinese banks . They are catered to foreigners. No credit score and no docs are required. You can borrow money between 4%-5%. I have borrowed almost $1M from East West Bank at 4.25%. If you were in my area, I could hook you up. The loan process is quite painless. Keep looking. They are out there. Money does grow on tree in CA. :-)
Good luck.
