Traditional bank financing.

Those willing to go beyond that could be good partners for real estate investors.Traditional banks/Local Banks and non-bank lenders - If they are a portfolio lender, meaning they actually hold on to the loan and don't just collect your payment, then they have the ability to be flexible.

Basically/Hopefully that is watching rents hit your bank, and occasionally calling a repair service as needed. 

And your bank is not requiring any sort of paydown of the mortgage for a partial release. 

I enjoy hearing about peoples’ personal wins and innovative, creative strategies.  

Experience with financing via US banks as a foreigner are more than welcome!

Get the bank financed property first, while you have the DTI.

It's actually harder if you are currently living in the property, want to cash out, and then have it as a rental as you haven't proven to the bank that the property will cash flow $600 a month on top of the NEW mortgage costs. 1.

The only issue appears to be the missing breakers and it being turned off by the bank.

These strategies would will grow you cash flow safely without dealing with a bank.
