It wasn’t a massive deal—our expected assignment fee was $10,000—but when you’re growing a business, every opportunity matters.Everything seemed to be moving smoothly until the title search revealed a major roadblock: the mortgage discharge couldn’t be cleared because the person who needed to sign off was deceased.

Hi Aubrey,International lenders don't exist for real estate in that no lender in one country will give you a mortgage loan in another country.A good service to estimate revenue in Costa Rica or everywhere in the world for that matter is Aidna.

It's an estimated cash on cash return given current rental rates subtract expenses assuming 7% interest rate, 10% management fee, 5% repairs, 5% capex and other expenses like mortgage, insurance, tax. it's a estimate to tell you what properties to analyze vs ignoreyou can see the are pockets of negative returns as well as pockets of positive return. this is to supplement the data @Devin Conley provided

This year is slower than normal because mortgage rates and home prices are so high.

Any other expenses are using up funds that would otherwise be sitting in your checking account to make a mortgage payment with.

There's obviously opportunity here to build this out and turn it into a basement apartment, which I think would cash flow because of course there's no mortgage. 

So property is private.

And how do I roll this into a cheaper mortgage (my dti would be too bad for another conventional).Maybe a lender would be able to consider the electric "working" with the proper inspection?

I heard Brandon talking about how he uses private money, rehabs, refinances, and then transfers the title to his LLC.

I have a few properties and am also a mortgage broker, happy to answer any questions about general investing or financing options.
