We've opted to start our focus 'in our backyard' here in Lake County, though may (likely will) branch out further with time...Non-RE investing background:  I'm an engineer by trade (with all the anal-retentive number crunching that comes with it), presently in a 'Global Strategic Planning' role at my corporation.  

This means the process is a lot less stringent (based on personal financial statement, debt coverage ratios (subject property DCR/global DCR)) and funds much more streamlined and quicker.In a recent example, a conventional cash out was only going to get me 65-70% LTV around 4.75% with no points, but if I went with portfolio it was going to be 4.99% up to 80% LTV with 1 point cost and terms were 10 year with balloon thereafter, 5 year fixed adjustable rate within the 10 year balloon period, 30 year amortization - principal & interest payments, w no pre pays. 

My goal is to observe the trends, discussions and future of the industry and get a global perspective. 

Your Global DCR also becomes very important if you want to scale up to 20, 30 or 50 or more properties over time.So rather than just he saving your goals and growth should dictate how you set up your loans and your amortization periods. 

They also look at your experience, global cash flow and reserves.

Other groups I've had the pleasure to have worked with are RichDad Education, Flipping Formula, Real Market Masters, Government Loophole Magic, Rehab Valuator, Keller-Williams Realty, and Global Investments Inc.If you're interested in investing in the St.

You'll likely need 20-25% down, need to show 6-12 months of PI liquid reserves post closing, and meet their internal guidelines with regards the DSCR and global debt service.

With the recent crowdfunding rules sourcing money globally has become easier because technology can link small issuers to the BD community who can help with items like this.  

At some point the US economy/ government debt will need to correct itself also... which will impact global economies.

If we didn't trust 'other people to run our businesses', then McDonald's or other global businesses could never expand.
