I've lived here my whole life and know the area and market very well.

I can say that managing remotely is a challenge for many, I don't really know what value a person could bring trying to perform management services remotely for a third party. 

Obviously, this is not a financing specifically for the overseas property and the borrower could use the money to do anything they want.If you want to use leverage in Mexico, the alternatives to local bank financing are developer financing for pre-construction properties (which is rarely given if you don't have the necessary personal relationships) or seller financing.

Attacking someone personally for having a different opinion is not really a classy position to be in.  

Bankers move around, rates increase and decrease, market conditions change, but these personal relationships can remain a constant throughout your career and will be critical to your success. 

Have spent my life in Overland Park so know it well.

I perform repairs/maintenance on the home for the life of the former homeowner.

Usually you can avoid personal guarantees by having your IRAs membership interest at 19% or less in that LLC.
