Can your property afford a mortgage of $270k?

I would be happy to go over some of the requirements for getting a mortgage in the US as an international investor. 

With current interest rates, and they are at least 1% higher with potentially additional points for non owner occupied property, it is hard to find properties that will allow for positive cash flow after paying the mortgage, if you are looking for money for the down payment from a private lender, those are normally at higher than market and I am not sure it would be possible to pay it off.... please remember you need to take into account that you may not have a tenant for a certain amount of time, a tenant may stop paying rent, or you will have a big ticket item to fix, so I would wait if I were you and save to have enough for the down payment and closing costs and perhaps some money set aside for repairs. you also want to make sure that you have your own emergency fund outside of the money needed for the investment property because life happens ....

By doing this we qualified for a larger mortgage because we could use the rent from the other tenant to qualify and there are better lending programs when it’s “owner occupied”.  

Seller financing, subject-to deals (taking over the seller’s mortgage), or lease options can create terms that work for both parties.

Adjustable rate mortgage, 10% down.

It is increasingly more difficult to pay of even one mortgage when you are cashflow negative, let alone multiple.

I started my career as a commercial banker a long time ago, but have been an independent mortgage broker for nearly a decade.

I was hasty due to the higher mortgage rates, and it turned out to be a huge mistake.
