No, that's the right question...unfortunately, the answer is ZERO and NONE as far as your chances.There are NO non-owner occupant cash out loans (except for hard money) that a lender will not look at your credit and income.And there probably won't ever be again.Best to build up your credit (not that hard if you have none) and find someone to partner with.No credit is better than bad credit, and by finding a partner as co-owner (should be a blood relative), you can buy a home with just 3% down FHA, as an owner occupant.Don't ever, EVER, EVER, pay ALL CASH for a property unless you plan to flip it FAST !!!

I'm a relative newbie investor with a small portfolio in Colorado Springs, CO (4plex, SFR, condo).

Also if you have any title related questions I'd be happy to answer them.

It is really difficult to spend time in researching property overseas, but if someone found the property exhibition in a desired region would help them a lot in relation to meet the developers and real estate agents, and get first hand knowledge of about their properties and locations.
