There are always exceptions based on your track record or relation with a specific bank in another country, however expect higher interest rates as they see an international investment as something riskier. 

Not living at the property it seems like a waste to purchase wifi or piggyback of a tenant's network and the need for real time alerts seems unneeded for an investment property.The important features to me seem to be: high quality, motion sensored or rolling recording, night vision, and internal storage. 

Almost all international officers stay in Deer Creek.

Different lenders will have their own internal guidelines.

Offer to be an "intern" before you think to "partner."

Cap Rate may be a good internal metric for an investor to be aware of and use to evaluate similar properties, but there is absolutely no bearing on value until you get to 5+ units.A house at this price point rarely makes sense as a rental.

I first became interested in real estate investing while working as an intern for a small residential investor/contractor in New Orleans the summer of 2012.

If the owner lives abroad then they should have notified the tax collector that their mailing address is international.
