Yes, I’m indeed looking for 0% down opportunities. I’m exploring creative structures such as combining lender financing, seller financing, gap funding, or partnering directly with property owners to make that possible.


I hope this answers your question clearly.

Hello Drew,

Thank you for your message. I'm currently exploring different financing structures for my first real estate project in the U.S. through my LLC. I'm open to discussing various options, including creative financing solutions like combining lenders with seller financing or gap funding.

I’d love to understand how you typically work with international investors and what possibilities could be available depending on the deal.

Thank you!

Best regards,

Montse

Thank you very much for your reply to my post. I’d love to connect and would really appreciate it if you could share the contacts for lenders, attorneys, and accountants who are experienced in working with foreign investors.

Thanks again for your support!

Hello everyone,

I'm an international real estate investor based in the Netherlands, currently operating through an LLC registered in the U.S. I'm looking for financing options for our first Fix & Flip or renovation-only deal in the U.S.

I’m specifically looking for:
• Hard Money Lenders who work with foreign investors with an LLC
• Renovation-only loans (I can secure the purchase through seller financing)
• Gap funding to cover down payments or renovation costs
• Or private lenders open to collaborating

I’m open to deals in various states, mainly where the numbers make sense (Texas, Detroit, Florida, Arizona, etc.).

If you are a lender, investor, or someone who can offer financing or advice, I’d love to connect and discuss potential opportunities.

Thank you very much for your time — I look forward to connecting soon.

Hi,

I saw your message and I think I can help. I also live in the Netherlands and I'm interested in investing in the US, so I've already done some research on setting up an LLC as a foreigner. I know a company in the US that specializes in assisting foreign investors with LLC formation, tax advisory, and related matters.

Here's the link to that company: https://jamesbakercpa.com

If you need more information or would like to discuss further, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to share my experience!

Regards,

Thank you for sharing your ideas! I'm glad to see there are possibilities to invest remotely.

We are considering a future project in the United States, specifically in Florida, Texas, or California. We are not familiar with any of these markets, nor do we have anyone trustworthy there, or a real estate agent.

Our approach would be both rental and house flipping. We want to acquire a property in one of these areas, not only as an investment but also as a place where we can stay when we visit the United States. We'd love to escape the cold Dutch winters and enjoy a warmer climate.

When we're not using the property, we plan to rent it out as an Airbnb to generate passive income. Given your experience, what do you think about this strategy? Do you have any advice on the best markets for this type of investment?

Thank you very much! for all the responses, they have been very constructive. I really appreciate your opinions.

I still have some doubts because I know people who have bought properties from a distance from Spain and it has worked well for them. To do this, they have a team consisting of an inspector, a makelaar, and renovation professionals.

However, as Ken M. mentioned, having someone trustworthy there to manage everything would also be a key factor.

Hi Meghan,

Hi Benjamin,

That’s amazing to hear you’re in Rotterdam! Renovating a 3-unit townhouse sounds like a great project.
