Are you referring to private money specifically as like an individual person investor or also including real lending companies like Hard Money Lenders / Private Lenders? 

Also, I have done a couple of non recourse loans with Private Lenders on a shorter term basis.

More specifically setting up an LLC as a Canadian, navigating cross-border taxation, finding lenders, and going through the acquisition process as an international investor.Thanks in advance for anyone who has advice!

When you get a mortgage on a personal name and you transfer it to an llc after you close the lender is able to call the loan . have to be careful with that 

I would check out Banco Popular or a local hard money lender. 

Would raising just the 20% from private lenders and then getting a loan based on the down payment not be looked at favorably.

NV and AZ have low property tax rates compared to my 2.72% and 2.78% Indy property tax rates, which also saw a 17% increase the last assessment.
