My go-to with smaller value properties is a commercial loan, which usually is based on either 15% or 20% down and my favorite lender locally for this is currently between 5%-6% depending on the rate-lock period (between 3-10 years) and the loan is amortized over 20 years.That's my go-to strategy. 

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Once you get closer to making the move, reach out to local agents to get up-to-date info from the MLS.

Start saving money, work on your credit score, get approval for loans ahead of time, and meet and talk to local real estate sellers, other investors, and people who manage properties.

To me this includes being members of your local REIAs. 

Always cool to connect with other local investors.

I would pass your scenario by a local CPA to cover your bases.

Best in the game, better than Navy.Try local community bank or credit union for investment properties.

@Mateo MonsalvePlus the political climate of that foreign country, squatter issues, local laws, tenant rights, etc.

I live in Western NY, so I'm not sure if the CPA would have to be local to me?
