Where to get a commercial loan for <$1mio for non-resident owner?

[Linda B.]

We're trying to get a mortgage for our 2 multifamily buildings that are each around $750,000. We bought them with a private loan and they are held within an LLC. The tricky part is that I am a non-resident living outside of the US (so basically no ties to the US other than my 50% stake in these two properties). My partner on the other hand is a citizen.

Lenders seem to shy away from this scenario, because the <$1mio value of our properties doesn't seem to make it worth their time to deal with the non-resident issue... Any suggestions of which lenders might be willing to work with us, or anyone that has managed a similar situation?
