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. 

You should be able to find local builders that will finance the construction component of your new build, however! 

Reached out to owner of neighboring property How did you finance this deal?

If you're considering purchasing under a business name, consult a CPA or attorney for setup and financing options.

Mixed-use with some residential could also add diversification while keeping it simple.What’s the tenant mix like, and how are you structuring financing?

I’m focused on multi-family and creative financing deals in VA.

At the beginning, it may be difficult to get a more expensive property that will appreciate well and so your choice is go with the cheaper property and get cash flow until you can sell and upgrade, or wait for a really good deal which you may be waiting for quite a while and its possible that you will have spent so much time waiting that you could have purchased multiple cash flowing properties by the time you get a good appreciation deal that you can qualify for / refinance after the rehab. i know anyone can go out and get seller financing deals, HML, flip to build capital or whatever the case may be I am just saying sometimes those will be harder and could result in less deals overall. 

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

Step 1: Ensure you can get financing (is it a cash purchase or will you need a loan).
