Cash, developer financing, gaining citizenship, using a margin loan from an investment account or a heloc on your primary in the US, seller financing, etc. are usually the best options as bank financing with attractive rates and terms usually isn't available like we're used to in the US.

You still need to put at least 10-25% down depending on experience for a hard money loan.

Upgrading to premium is all online.

In most cases your better off buying with "All Cash" and then you can use a "Delayed financing" program to get up to 80% cash back LTC loan to cost.

I am aware of DSCR loans (among other types of unconventional loans), But at the same time, I do have an amount of capital such that I can float the first 3 to 4 deals that my partner and i get into. 

Best, I'm looking into a bridge loan at the moment, and figured I'd move them to an LLC later.

Seller often think "Where will I get the money to loan you?"

Some hard money / private investors have minimal loan amount restrictions. 

Where can I find a broker that can source out a construction loan for a spec home?

My plan is to use a first-time buyer's loan program, live in the property for a year, and then turn it into a rental property.
