You can sell your Subject To on lease option and let the optionee keep up the house.

Also, we have very competitive non-qm options that will allow you to avoid the overlays given when going with a GSE loan while also offering comparable rates.

However, currently there are no options for a foreigner to get a cash out refi on their property in Costa Rica other than for construction on the property itself.

@Jackie LinThat’s a big decision, and with your experience in California rentals, you’re in a great position to weigh the options.

The fact that you evaluated whether to sell or do a cash-out refi shows you’re playing a long game and keeping your options open.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like to talk options.

Loan Officer, Brave Mortgage called me and we started a refinance option to be able to hold the property and get out of the balloon payment.

I also practice as a Realtor because I enjoy it and it is extra income.So as an investor, your options are to get your RE license and have access to a lot of tools and do the research yourself (therefore you're paying with time, energy and a little money) or you work with a great realtor/investor in the specific market you're looking into.

@Roger CreekmoreMini splits sound like the best option from the cheap seats. 

Right now I'm considering refinance options to pull out some equity.
