A quick Internet search of "Costa Rica Mortgage Loans" turned up a couple of brokers and private equity offerings.You could also try to get the seller to finance part of the purchase price.Or borrow it from your 401K, if you have one.Depending on your credit score, it might also be worth looking at rates from a local credit union, bank, or even Prosper or Lending Club for a personal loan rather than a real-estate secured loan.

You have to find the Direct Seller and don't deal with Brokers His course it worth the money and his seminars are even better.

I am looking to partner with a reliable loan broker for both commercial and residential loans

It's nice to have access to the MLS data and how easy it is to set up a showing of a property that I want to see.The downside is you will have to pay the broker, MLS, and NAR fees along with continuing education requirements to maintain your license which can sometimes not be worth it.The biggest perk for me was having people I know come to me to list their house for them but instead I would just offer to buy it and make the process easy for them.

We reviewed this deal from one of the major brokers as a potential value-added implementation, however this does not pan out with our current underwriting assumptions.

I think it is.Not sure how much a new broker will help.

As a broker specializing in rental properties for the last 20+ years the worst stories I have heard came from landlords who became friends with their tenants.  

Build a relationship with a knowledgeable mortgage broker to navigate loan options and leverage house-hacking strategies to boost your investment portfolio.Good luck!

Have a broker come in and say “ you won’t be able to rent this to non-smoking tenants without mitigation”Hire people don’t do it yourself.

Good morning @Sebastian Lough, I am the broker/owner of ELDA Management Services and would love to connect and discuss any of your Houston needs.
