Hi Simon, It will be very tough to find a lender that can do below a $75k loan amount to a foreign investor.

We currently have a construction loan on the properties and we would like to refi to a more conventional loan.

So, I've closed hundreds of loans for people. 

I argue that more money in the hands of the rehabber makes the loan safer.

Questions are what type of loan are you targeting?

Also, explore creative financing options like seller financing or private loans to reduce upfront capital needs.
