Once you creep up too much around the 200k+ mark the rents tend to not quite as much keep up and you are more towards the equity side at that point. 

Quote from @Mark Munson: Yes, you can, but you will likely need a US bank account.

I don't know I have seen many deals were inspectors miss things and cause the transactions to go into litigation and they get sued as well.also anyone who has been at this for a long time has had appraisers miss the mark or do a very lazy job and use comps that are not comps and kill your deal and you want to kill the appraiser. all these professions are just like all walks of life you have great mediocre and poor .. its just life.  

Hi Mark and Johnathan, Thank you so much for your insights.

By far the best ways I've heard to combat this is water mark all photos with your contact info, rent amount (potentially) and potentially the address as well.

Mark them up, get a small down payment, and charge interest. 

It's so easy to get locked in the mindset of "lowest possible interest rate"... but I also have to remind myself that interest rates *may* be creeping up, but they are still phenomenal comparatively speaking.I hadn't even considered the refinance aspect either, @Mark Creason.
