However, I’d love to hear insights from the community:1.Are there specific lenders or institutions you’d recommend that cater to international investors?

Also find a lender who can move fast - we have several that can close in 15 days and less.  

Aim for 720+ for best rates, I suggest start building relationships with your local lenders.

Most out of state investors are better off just acting as private lenders, buying low cost index funds or keeping their money in HYSAs.

Clarify your strategy—whether it's rentals, flips, or house hacking—and build a team of agents, lenders, and contractors.

You can save a lot on costs if you do many repairs yourself.Look into hard money lenders or private lenders for the initial purchase and rehab.Connect with wholesalers, agents specializing in investment properties, and other BRRRR investors to find deals and learn more.

If its the business then asset based lenders may be interested.

@Jerry Chilimidos,Here is a list of lenders who specialize in lending to IRAs and 401Ks:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/2810/50272-list-o...I don't know where your rentals are located and how they are performing but selling might be an option vs doing cash-out refi.I would certainly consider option C.

Here's link: https://rent.app/landlordAppears they are a type of payday advance lender for rent payments.Seeing more & more of this on banks statements for rental applciations, so predicting we'll all be accepting rent from them eventually for Class C & D tenants that can't seem to get out of their paycheck-to-paycheck cycles.

If you need lender recommendations use the forum to find out who others have used in your area.
