Hello everyone at BP,Im a soccer player that has been interested in real estate investing for as long as i can remember.  

Oh yeah, get out to some local real estate working groups and meet the local players in your market. 

If they don't, the personal guarantee won't matter: the numbers don't work - period.If they do, save the personal guarantee as a very last resort, and then try to find some reason to not do the deal.

This reminds me of the hockey analogy "A good player goes where the puck is while a great player goes where the puck will be."

On top of that, you guys have amazing mountains and ski resorts.

I know because it happened to me when we bought the middle of a huge resort complex and they sued and were able to prove the country that year screwed up on the notifications.  

:>)I like to compare out investment strategy with hockey: "A good player goes where the puck is while a great player goes where the puck will be."

As a last resort, you could seek a combination of hard money and/or private lenders in your network/area.

@Jenn Kinchen Networking with professionals in the industry, marketing directly to the owners (calling and mailing), and establishing yourself as the go to player in your market for bigger deals is gaining some traction for us. 

A lot of Chinese buyers have gone to Seattle but Trump makes them nervous (me as well) so I don't think they're as attached to US markets as they are Vancouver and if Seattle implements the same anti-foreign measures as Vancouver I think they would choose Vancouver over Seattle.The capital controls are mainly focused on corporate purchasers and the smaller time players but I'm assured that the really wealthy/connected can still move money out yet flows are lower.
