@Sid Shankar - American Security Mortgage.

Hey Willie, Not sure if your question was answered but I have used American Homeland Title in the past for wholesale and they worked out pretty well.

I've seen lots of progress BackgroundStatus: RenterPurchase Location: Bay area CaliforniaCriteria: MFH,  Oakland, Richmond, El Cerrito, South San FranciscoGoal: House hackWinsFound a lender that has me fully underwritten pre-approval FHA near max and I can close on a property in 17 days.Met and made connections with contractors, lenders, flippers, agents.Part of an African American real estate investment group and have a small group of real estate friendsChallenges / Learnings - I have no idea how the relationship between the Buyer and Agent is supposed to work.

Americans have been moving to larger/metropolitan areas steadily for decades, about 3% in the last 20 years.

STRs tend to suffer during downturns and this will be compounded by the avoidance of non-essential travel by many Americans.

I’ve mentioned this strategy to many of my friends but they all just want to live in a pretty house they like so they go about it the American way of buying a house at market value that they can just barely afford because it’s in a good neighborhood and they want to live in a nice neighborhood.

I would suggest trying to get into contact with a variety of American lenders, accountants and lawyers and see which course of action benefits your goals the most.As you talked about, finding a solid team is crucial and can add extreme value to you and your future investments.

There are only a handful of lenders that do such non-recourse loans for IRA owned properties, with First Western Federal Savings and North American Savings Bank being at the forefront.If one of these banks will not lend or at least not on terms that suit your needs, you would need to seek out a private party to act as lender. 

In the end we are a hyper capitalist society and the laws of economics will win in a big way.

My non-recourse lender was North American Savings Bank.
