My suggestion is to partner with / hire the best local tax and legal professionals you can if you are going to invest abroad.

But, if you have clear evidence that fraud was committed, you may have legal action against GP, but this is typically hard to prove, and likely going to be costly for you to pursue, and if the deal is already failing, there likely isn't much of anything left to collect anyways.

Property Managers can also save you time, stress and legal compliancy to maximize your investment.

A neighbor 2 doors down also cited had added a staircase between his first-floor apartment to the basement apartment legalized and with the crazy rents in the area, collected rents now legally for both.

We used Anderson Business Advisors to set everything up properly and have not regretted the couple thousand we spent, as well as the monthly fee for them to keep up all our legal and give us unlimited access to attorneys.

Check your local laws to see if that is legal.

Your loan will be capped anywhere from 65% ARV to 75% ARV and that will depend on lender, credit, experience, deal spread, risk.In that deal cap you have guidelines like borrower can get 80% LTV is their experience is X and credit is Y, and they can get 90% LTV if their credit is A and exp is B. 

We're in Arizona if that makes any legal difference.

I'm fine with combing the market for deals, just trying to find a way to legally secure financing without a due on sale clause raining on my parade.

Unless there is significant equity in the property 50% LTV may not be enough to payoff the current underlying mortgage.Now here are the exceptions to lift the COB 50% limited LTV restriction:- you inherit the property and it was transferred into your name either via legal award from a domestic partnership/marriage - you have been on title for 24 + months- you took title to the property that was transferred from a partnership or partnership like entity (LLC, LP, etc) that you can document the ownership of 25% or more in- you lived in the property and have been on title for atleast 12 months as a primary residence- you have paid the mortgage for atleast 12 months - or you can demonstrate a relationship with the obligator (domestic partner, relative, family member, etc. )If you qualify for one of the exceptions you are not limited to the 50% max LTV  when considering fannie/freddie conventional cash out refinances on a subject to transaction.
