I am not sure if they are particularly used for Real Estate as of yet, they do have a focus on nurturing, qualifying and tracking leads.

But additionally, since you need someone to share their net worth and liquidity to qualify for your loan, they are taking on some decent risk to not be truly involved with the opportunity for upside.At the end of the day, if you are assuming $1mm down, $3mm loan, whether it is agency loan or debt fund or local credit union, they will want experience (and this could be the professional property management company you hire).  

A large, deep and qualified network of "intermediaries" to provide deal flow OR the ability to spend $5 -10K PER MONTH on obtaining that deal flow. 5.

I believe I am not qualify for primary residence because I do not physically live in the states side.

If you're qualified, you go to the open house. 

Hawaii law requires an on-island manager, but in order to qualify as an active business I’ll need 100 hours managing the property so hiring a regional manager may hurt my tax write off plans.

Hi @Josh Walker,Your lender local to Detroit must be using some homeowner's insurance premium "shouldn't come in higher than..." assumption(s) to qualify people because HOI is part of DTI.

If they 100% cant qualify without a co-signer and the co-signer doesn't qualify then they are out of luck. 

not sure about your experience but the second loan you got sounds like a great deal.most lenders really price by experience to get the really low rates very few will qualify for the best rates..Experience has more weight that fico in the HML world. 

Would you buy many SFH's or would you by a few 2-4 unit MFH's or would you go for the big one and use all $500k as a down payment towards the biggest MFH you could find that you qualified for?
