I've been surprised at properties that have passed conventional financing though...and even FHA....also, one could present 2 offers to seller--one for a cash offer and one for seller financing (at a higher price of course). 

I'm terrified of doing all this research, finding a "dream" property, only for it to fail and negative cash flow. 

With the extra cash flow, you could strive to acquire additional income-producing properties over time.

I hate to pay extra money for a PI on work we have already done. 

Purchase price: $150,000 Cash invested: $90,000 Bought as a forclosure gut job.

Ultimately, you will need to have the borrowed funds in USD and ideally in your US business entity bank account to sail through underwriting with US lenders on US properties.Caveat: the rates will likely be something like 10-12% so it would not make sense on a long-term holding, more like on a down payment on a purchase and rehab value-add project that you will eventually sell (or cash-out refinance) to pay off the borrowed funds in a few months. 

Zero evictions and zero cash for keys.  

Adding mass to the walls works wonders—attach Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) to the shared wall, then cover it with a layer of 5/8” drywall using Green Glue soundproofing compound for extra noise-blocking power.

So, no extra cost to you for doing that in essence.

It’s not quite as easy as having the liquid cash to invest.
