Ultimately, you will need to have the borrowed funds in USD and ideally in your US business entity bank account to sail through underwriting with US lenders on US properties.Caveat: the rates will likely be something like 10-12% so it would not make sense on a long-term holding, more like on a down payment on a purchase and rehab value-add project that you will eventually sell (or cash-out refinance) to pay off the borrowed funds in a few months. 

Hi all,I'm looking for recommendations for a property manager for my 8-unit apartment building in Cullman, AL.

Be very careful with this as a first time project! 

Researching local job markets, schools, and even infrastructure projects can provide insight into potential appreciation and cash flow.You might want to explore markets in the Midwest or South, which often have lower entry points and better cash flow potential compared to California.

I work on projects across multiple states and have a strong network of contractors.Regarding when to involve a contractor, if it’s someone you haven’t worked with before, I’d suggest waiting until after the inspection.

The idea would involve working together to construct a road that provides access to my property.From there, I’m considering developing a 16-unit multifamily project on my land.

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

I had a project last year that a sub hit a conduit that was marked out and the utility made a claim many months later.

Before moving out, test different strategies, automate management (smart locks, cameras, cleaning services), and decide whether to self-manage or hire a property manager.

On the journey, I once sold properties that were 30 minutes away as being too far, and also managed some properties that were 200 miles away.
