no different than any other loan.. although there is a withholding if your paying foriegners interest but there is a form you can sign and put in your file that puts them on notice they need to pay income tax and you don't have to withhold. but if their income is less than the amount needed to file.. its no issue.but generally speaking piece of cake.. they just wire the money to your account. 

update title - if anybody is wondering how long it takes to quiet title mine   Is done and took  about three months was a piece of cake total cost $1750 

While I've had the cash-flow all along, I also have much icing about to be poured onto the cake. 

@Scott MichaelIf you are looking for someone local - It might be worthwhile to see if you can connect with someone in Anaheim or LA.

Have your cake and eat it too. 

I live in Anaheim, CA so I'm considering Phoenix and Las Vegas since they are nearby and not crazy expensive.

So in essence it is a way to have your cake and eat it to (although I've been pondering all day why I would want to have cake and not eat it...). 

I have market (analysis) paralysis.I am interested in SFH or small multi-family residence rentals, looking for cash flow but of course would love some icing on the cake (appreciation).

Any growth should really be icing on the cake. 

With the rental income and minimum 35% equity in the deal, refinancing should be a cake walk for you qualifying.
