We prefer conventional financing but are open to suggestions.I'd appreciate insights on the following:1.

My husband wants to wait until interest rate goes to down so we can finance but I am not sure if it will ever happen... 

If you plan on using any type of financing tread lightly.

What is your background with respect to real estate, finance, investing, etc and what is the help you feel you need?

Financing is fully locked in and I am ready to roll. 

You will need to investigate on the property market before you can identify specific locations which have higher value gain through pricing and also renting.Explore different financing options according to your financial situation, such as FHA loans or renovation loans, based on your investment objectives.

For the starters, I would like to know:- Where to start- Financing options in The US for Canadian investors- Markets to look for - Realtors/Turnkey servicesFeel free to ask along any questions you have for me.  

In addition the financing will be based on the appraisal so the OP will be on the hook for a bigger down.

Just because YOU were able to call multiple lenders on your own transaction and get someone to finance you at a lower rate, does not mean you are qualified to do it for others.
