If you conclude the leverage is so good that everyone comes out ahead that's fine but if you are only able to originate hard money debt that may be viewed as a red flag by investors who will question your experience and borrowing strength.

This wouldn't surprise me from a wholesalers point of view.

I think the view in 2022 was these high rates are the outlier environment.

They will be your BOG (boots on the ground) to be able to view the property.I will say that I did buy my current primary residence abroad and it wasn't fairly complicated, I would just do some things differently than I had initially anticipated if that makes sense.

Also thank you for the added detail to what @Chris Mason was saying.

View your profile then click the "Settings" button (with the 3 dots) located at the very top right side of your screen.

That's my two cents, I'm sure there are other views.

The property, though is not beach front, nor does it has ocean view, is just a short drive from some of the best beaches in the west, which are great for surfing, snorkeling, SCUBA diving.

View cash flow as necessary to cover expenditures and meet debt coverage ratios in order to obtain favorable financing, do not view cash flow as a vehicle to cover future down payments. 

My budget is in the $200-250K range.Please feel free to let me know if additional details would help, and thank you in advance for your time and advice!
