If that doesn’t work, then on to another option.

My lender is suggesting me to buy property under my name and then transfer it to LLC later as there are not many financing options available for LLC.

They do offer access to mutual funds, but I do not love this option.

My budget will be around $200k but I’m meeting with a lender on Tuesday to go over all of my options.

Hello, Starting to research about STR options/opportunities in Mexico (as a Canadian living in Canada).

It really depends on your comfort level and long-term goals, but even if you want to get into multifamily long-term, SFR may be the best option to gain some comfortability.

Is spending thousands on a sprinkler system worth it or do I have other options? 

Some/many lenders don't like a 2nd mortgage behind their first (like the skin in the game), however there are both bridge or permanent financing options out there allowing you to leverage anywhere from 90% CLTV - 100% CLTV, but don't expect good terms...

Explore options like conventional loans, DSCR, seller financing, or partnerships, and connect with local lenders to find the best fit for your strategy.Good luck!

(FYI I am a licensed builder)Hope to find some options out there.
