It really spooked me but I made it!

But most banks are still very spooked about doing cash out refi's with no seasoning.

In our area because they can't come up with the down payment, don't want to be tied down if they get a better job, don't want to deal with managing a property and are generally spooked by real estate.

No, it's Top Secret, can't even discuss it but really, I think Joe likes us to think he just gets his spook buddy in the CIA to track them down.......LOLUsually any small operator is easy to nail down.

Albert makes some good points but don't let them spook any of you.

I can see the sellers point if you only gave the seller one dollar to tie up their property, and you bring so call buyers might spook the tenants in moving.

Vladimir Valter Putting all the Crimea/Ukraine issues aside to keep things easy, it comes down to this:As a foreign national with no presence in the US such as an immigration visa of some kind, or significant financial footprint (cash or property), no American bank or traditional lender will loan you money.

So that would be out of the question.Properties are usually trade in USD.In my opinion that should create a good market for buyers since the most renters have no chance to buy and have to rent at very high rates.What are my chances to raise Capital with an Ltd. in UK (or other foreign country) to invest it in real estate in Ukraine?

I understand some folk might have the "spook factor" akin to a death in a house, but you don't have to get this place fumigated or tear it down to make it livable again.

Well, I have interesting offers in Romania, Ukraine, Moldova and possibly Russia.
