I'm not aware of anyone in the US who will lend against collateral in a foreign country (not saying there aren't, I just don't know of any).

The rules aren’t often enforced, but I’d be more worried about getting caught up in a lawsuit with no errors and omissions insurance protection personally.

Those who show, I interviews and lease based on answers. my property is in a D neighborhood and most tenants aren’t the best and most won’t submit credit/background checks. 

This is assuming the rental has been on the market for a while, is priced competitively, and the asset is in good condition.If you aren't getting enough qualified applicants, you can adjust 2 different things; the qualifications or the rental amount. 

Well-designed short-term rentals in Colorado outperform their similar vacation rentals that aren't designed by 20% or more. 

Hi Stephen,Sorry for your troubles but it seems like the provider came through in the end which is nice to see.And promising to cover rent for the delays caused shows character also.Being a turnkey provider myself since 2014, I can attest to that unfortunately many things sometimes aren't in our control.Especially when it comes to the citiy, contractors and pulling permits, etc...Our traditional promise is that the property will take 90 days to rehab and tenant.Have we gone over 90 days?

Yes you are giving up a rate that you probably aren't going to see again anytime soon, but as long as you aren't locked into an extensive penalty period you can always refi again if rates plummet to the point that it makes sense to do so. 

Okay, hard money and DSCR loans aren’t going to have those requirements.Is the buyer buying for investment or primary purposes?

Sometimes for 12 months, hopefully for years.This ongoing transaction (relationship) is much harder when things are disjointed, expectations aren't met (or properly set), people are curt, or worse.Find a PM that passes the sniff test of someone you want to build that relationship with.

High property taxes aren't always a deal-breaker.
