I began investing in the US real estate market as an international buyer in Florida, seizing opportunities with foreclosures back in 2008.

Do any of you have any recommendations on a career that could help me learn the game internally to start out?

I think the big component is leverage. 

International lenders?

Hi everyone,Over the last few years, I've responded to almost 700 posts on buying and investing in international real estate yet I haven't written any single post.

Real estate was scary at the time, the news were bad, prices were dropping and nobody knew if that would ever get better.I had a well paying corporate job at the time (which also meant international travel 2 weeks every m month), so I did not have much time and it also it took me a year to find the confidence and the money for another one.

I will have to do my due diligence and research everything that has been stated here on this thread.This might be a silly question but how does financing work internationally? 

When you're looking at new builds make sure you check to see if they have a preferred/internal lender and/or an interest rate buydown available, which can really change the terms of the deal. 3 months ago some of the new construction companies in my area were offering permanent 3.5%, 30-year interest rates and up to $80k (10%) off of list for using their lenders.

My dad put on an international micro housing competition last year here in Denver, utilizing a real site in the RiNo neighborhood here in Denver.  

My goal here was to replace all major components and renovate to a premium level finish in order to charge market rent.By installing high quality finishes, I am setting this property up to be a low maintenance long term hold 📈What kind of renovation costs are you currently spending on your properties?
