I also works with a number of local and foreign investors and assist them with the acquisition, renovation, and leasing or disposition of properties for above average returns.

A $2,000,000 multifamily loan to a foreign investor (your profile says you are from Dubai) will require 25% down, maybe more depending on your footprint here in the US, property location, class, etc.Please don't think for one second there is 97% LTV financing, or anything close to that, available.

The program consists of property managers for foreign investors looking for buy and hold properties.

I work exclusively with investors (mostly foreign) remodeling and fixing their fix n flips.

Just playing devils advocate to those who say the market is artificially stimulated and many real estate buyers are foreign investors and hedge funds looking for yield.

I'm curious if condos have always outpaced coops or if maybe the recent disparity comes from the influx of foreign investment?

In addition, the number of foreigners buying houses here in US are at an all time high. 

I've got a couple of million dollars worth of property in Australia which has and should continue to treat me well on the capital gains front, but I'm chasing cash flow assets now and - from my initial research - it seems like there might be some better money to be had on this front in the US of A, where I also have some business interests.I lack knowledge in the lending area, however, when it comes to the US banking system, and that's where I'm hoping to draw upon your knowledge, experience and advice.Straight off the bat, I'm guessing my options will be reduced, interest rates and loan-to-value ratios higher as a foreign citizen.

After understanding the hard truth that I might have a problem finanacing my deal with conventional mortgages (Due to the fact im a Foreign investor), I realized I will have to relay on cash deals :(.

So if you have an LLC in another state and no LLC in CA, but you live in CA and operate from your home in CA (or an office or coffee shop or wherever in CA), then you will need to create a foreign entity in CA and pay the $800 minimum franchise fee.Does everyone do this?
