Some finance companies specialize in offering mortgages to foreigners.

Leveraging out-of-state turnkey rental properties could be another time-efficient path, offering stable cash flow and potential appreciation.

I’m looking at doing a master lease deal in Alberta on a mid sized multifamily so I would appreciate any onsite you are willing to offer.  

I would focus on "Ugly inventory" but would pass an appraisal and not be "Subject to" so that I can renovate and refinance on the ARV in as little as 6 months to pull out my initial capital and enough to put down on the next REI.On the flip side Indiana and Ohio would also offer a sale price to cash flow ratio since you can still find a great deal in both states.  

He abandoned it during his demon years so his best friend took it over and added a couple more people before it desolved due to all going off to college.In college he had a side hustle of finding things on free sites, putting them up for sale, selling the free item and offering to transport it for a modest fee.  

I read this last night from “The Book on Rental Property Investing” by Brandon Turner: Break even on cash flow or lose money on cash flow, and you are on a path to financial ruin.I’ll repeat myself one last time: Buy rental properties that offer cash flow today.I’m interested to know whether experienced investors Agree/disagree and why? 

I’m a CPA and my have no preference, but only recently signed up to Xero just to have that ability to offer to a client.

This is likely the reason you're not seeing many lenders offer it.

I would also note your mention of not wanting liability, but offering to "co-sign".

Offer to be his/her assistant for free, do all the stuff he/she hates doing, and learn the business from them.
