Here are some things you may want to prepare an answer for so you're not caught off guard and so you don't reveal potentially sensitive info.Q: "are you going to kick me out?"

Hi Akhtar,This is Michael from Coldwell Banker UAE, American Company with global presence.Saw you are currently in Dubai, would love to connect with you so we can meet and discuss about what current investors do so you would be well prepared for this industry!

Just be prepared to jump through some hoops and talk to a lender who's worked with investors and LLCs before.

Loan amount is low enough but be prepared for higher rate and sometimes pay a flat fee for the loan.

Prepare the house and take photos2.

If not, prepare for devoting tons of time to it in the beginning but eventually you can get some great tenants and have all your maintenance/systems in place, you will be ok!

Prepare yourself with a specific list of questions to ask each, literally interview them.

@Jason BabosIf you have the capital for the down payment, and reserves set aside for the unknown, and willing to put in the work, then I don't see why you can't.Are you prepared from a business perspective is the more important question.

I would strongly encourage the SBA route where the down payment will be around 20% or possibly less if you are willing to pledge other collateral or as mentioned previously, include a portion of seller financing in the mix.Be prepared though since most SBA lenders will want some type of industry experience.

As I prepare to use an FHA loan for my first multifamily investment, I've become concerned about the extensive repairs that can accompany purchasing an older model.
