@Rich Solano, I wanted to provide one additional route you could look into adding on to what @Jon Taylor mentioned. 

Upgrading to premium is all online.

There are calculators online but make sure you are familiar because I get a lot of people call me because their loan officer failed to run the numbers and they are getting ready to lose a deal or earnest money.If you want to go FHA you can always put more down but I would take a look at Fannie Mae as well for High Balance areas.  

No lender will finance a property in another country, unless you can provide collateral from your home country or you’re a large company and the lender will give you an unsecured loan based on your balance sheet but, anyway, both options would defeat the purpose of getting leverage through the purchased property.2.

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provides support for the property tax appeals process.Additionally, it can help maximize renovations and improvements.A Cost Segregation study is an IRS approved federal income tax tool that increases near term cash flow by utilizing shorter recovery periods for depreciation to accelerate return on investment.

Purchasing a non-performing note can provide above average returns in a relatively short period of time, therefore providing the capital to purchase more non-performing notes and "churning" the funds.

The property is located in Rock Falls, IL We'd be able to provide debt on that.

@Jesse BennettWe have tried this and it did not provide us any better results

What kind of services do you provide?

A quick google search for "va loan bonus entitlement" should provide you with all the information you need.Yes, anyone can assume a VA loan so long as they financially qualify.
