My lender isn't counting my 4 fixed and flipped in 2013 and also my 7 years of apartment management from 2014 to 2021 towards my investor's experience.

It’s a good idea to consult with a cross-border tax specialist who can give you specific advice based on your situation.Financing: Financing can be a bit more challenging as a foreign investor.

on the land locked they perfected a license to cross state of Oregon lands that took 6 years.. they paid all the legal fees to do it probably close to 100k. if not more..

I also more generally disagree with @Jason Wray's advice to cash out refinance, on two counts.  

What you should do is not count the good reviews, but look into the bad reviews.

Count me in.

You need a cross between canva and excel I would guess.

Also, I haven't gotten a straight answer on this, but I think depending on the lender, the heloc payments may be counted in different ways towards your DTI.  

If you subsequently purchased a property for 200k, would you count gains/losses against the 50k you now put in or against the 25k you started with as that’s what you’re actually out of pocket, depending on how you look at it.I hope I worded that clearly 

Only you and your agent can make the decision.If you buy it,  count on finding unexpected problems that require fixing, and make sure you have the cash on hand to cover them.
