Does anyone have a good suggestion for a mortgage broker that would be able to help us look at our numbers to see if we could qualify for a mortgage loan in the US to purchase some investment properties. We are both American citizens with jobs in Australia (we are actually dual citizens now). We also have a paid off property in the US that used to be our PPOR that we are currently renting to friends.
It most likely depends on where you are planning on buying.
Also, don't forget that you can't just buy and then everything magically sorts itself out. You will need feet on the ground, i.e. most likely a (good!) property manager, preferably available before you actually own the place.
In any case, during the process of trying to get financing be prepared for a fairly bumpy ride, including your employer(s) having to provide various information, visits to the consulate (time & fees!), lots of paperwork, etc. Good luck!
