I'm also focussing more on raising private capital for EU/US syndications, partnerships and ventures, since we all have the same pain in missing the last major puzzle piece when it comes to closing a deal. 

The purchase price is just one, small piece of the puzzle. 

New investors tend to stress out for years about their first deal or two, and then when it comes to the most important peice of the puzzle regarding how their property will perform and how passive their experience will be, they get lazy and don't develop a process for screening. 

No credit score by itself is not necessarily an issue, but it creates a big hole in the information puzzle.

Reverse engineer the list of most recently acquired hospitality business built or bought within the 30-40mile radius, You’d be puzzled at how much capital they have to play with.Crowdfunding or Real Estate Syndication: Platforms dedicated to real estate investment might have investors interested in backing a boutique hotel project.

The well guys are running 3 to 5 months out lately too.Its a puzzle game no doubt. 

It’s not that easy and even when you believe you have all the puzzle pieces in place, you will be replacing those pieces constantly.

Now all hope is not lost, what you could do is bring on a co-gp in the US to partner with where you bring the money and some analyst experience and they bring the other piece of the puzzle that you are missing.

One thing has me puzzled though.

The buyers of the move up houses often have to sell their house so makes for a more complex puzzle the broker has to solve.This forum is more investor based where purchases are made more on numbers than emotions.
