Land in Apex north and west is selling like hot cakes to International investors and national builders.

Is there a way I can get money lent from an international hard money lender?

I have recently contacted an agency, their English is not the greatest, but they are an international company.

We also lead the investor group for the Volusia county chapter of CFRI, and meet on the last Thursday of the month in Daytona off of International Drive.      

We also have galvanized piping that didn't supply reasonable water pressure because of internal corrosion build-up, so we're replacing that too.

Do have internal grade beams anywhere?

My background is in international logistics and I believed I could apply that set of skills to the project management side of flipping  a home.

I have been offered 7% for an$100k loan from an international lender, and am not sure if I should taken the risk..

Sure, you can classify yourself as a real estate professional or setup a property management component and pay yourself a salary that could convert that passive income to earned income, but it generally does not make sound financial sense to do so.The gig work could potentially support a Solo 401k.  

That is speculating and not investing.Numbers work going in and the rest is icing on the cake if it happens and if not you hit your goals anyway.It seems the primary reason you are buying is for a home for the family to live in so the investment portion seems like a much less important detail than the emotional component from what you have said so far.Maybe just view this property as a happy family home purchase and then if you like the area once you live there look around for properties where you buy just off of investment from the additional cash flow with the low mortgage payment.
