Because the number of qualifying risk/return deals is just not large enough to handle that amount of money at one time.

They were not terrible, some people would call them C minus, and it wasn't even that much about financial considerations at the time (appreciation was not a thing back then in Milwaukee) but just not what I wanted to own or manage, so I sold them to them tenants - after quite a bit of financial coaching to get them to qualify for a loan.My standard advice is always to buy the best quality property you can afford.

The buyer is qualifying for the loan just as if he were the originator of the loan.

DSCR loans let you qualify based on the rental income of the property rather than traditional income verification.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

A piece of advise if he lays hands on you or your son immediately go to court and see if it qualifies for a peace order or similar.

The tricky part is how you are looking to qualify.

Quote from @Matt Wan: @Nick BelskyEven if a US citizen, you must still live and work in the US to qualify for a conventional or agency loan. 

Finding something on Zillow and taking a swing just doesn't work unless you can pay cash for a property that does not qualify for conventional financing.
