I am a bit surprised that there are not more options? 

Then when I exercised the option within a few months.

I am excited to announce that the first prototypes are ready to install in Las Vegas.

As a new investor, your best bet is to start small with an app like DealMachine or Propstream so you have direct control of your options.

I'm sure I could go to some midwest markets or even some more depressed markets in my region and get better pricing, but that's out of my wheelhouse at this point in my life as I have no desire to learn new markets when I'm closer to the end than the beginning. .Sure, obvious but over looked.

Hi BiggerPockets team,I am a rookie US real estate investor searching for financing options for my first deal.Personal ProfileCitizenship: IsraeliI do not have US citizenship or a long-term visa.Investment GoalsLong-term rentals in good B/B+ locationsLow-maintenance propertiesKansas City, MO/KS, or its suburbsI am familiar with what https://lendai.us is offering, but I am trying to find other alternatives.Thank you!

Having said that, since you're a newbie my strong suggestion is to go thru a professional initially.  

You know how to look, you just have to go find it and find the gems. 

These are such great options! 

I'm going to try leasing the place out myself again, but if I'm struggling, I will hire property manager.
