I have considered doing a TIC/coop in San Dego but have the belief, without any data except for how I would value the financing challenges and tic risks, as being much greater than 10% price difference from condo price.  

I’ve read quite a few posts about foreign investor financing but most seem to deal with non-citizen investors without US credit or personal tax filings.

There is a difference between newbies trying to do creative financing deals and actually doing them.

How did you finance this deal?

How did you finance this deal?

Conventional financing is a great option to get started if you have a W2 job or easily verifiable income and you're financing a 1-4 unit property.

If not, you may not even be able to finance this on a conventional loan.

In addition to the different tracks @Chris Seveney descrubed, there is also good information on creative financing and seller financing (including what to avoid).

As a foreign investor, I can get financing up to 80% for the purchase of real estate, so the biggest problem for a more serious project is down payment if you have a solution for down payment, please suggest me.
