Most folks who I've analyzed and worked on the investments with are foreign buyers who do all cash ($1-1.5M!)

I do however have questions about financing options for foreign nationals like myself, especially students with F1 visa's.

I think right now healthcare crisis and foreign countries on the brink of war is the headlines across the TV.

So this removes many of the would be REO's.I don't know how these investors are making any money on these deals by purchasing at levels above 80% of value, but one of my guesses is that there is a lot of foreign money coming in on speculation for So CAL properties.

ForEx I expect 60% per annum, I prefer 5% compounding monthly.

In 2009 Europe were not in crisis yet and Euro was Stronger ($1.48 per Euro).Despite the fact my US property did not match the 2% rule I consider it a good choice because in this time the Europe/Italy future is uncertain and It is good to have an asset in Foreign country.Furthermore it is good way to learn how to manage a business remotely.

I don't want my clients to be concerned with their investments, we take it from A to Z.My question is what are the first things you look at when investing in a foreign country?

I guess just being a SF born and breed real estate broker the thought of property never really going up is a foreign concept.. so cash flow while nice unless you can super size it..

I will say if you’re looking for anything under 300k it’s hard to find as foreign investors snap those up.

I have actually read some of the articles that you posted, really enjoyed the one you wrote about not getting duped by a turnkey provider, link below if you would like to see what I was referring to :)https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2016/05/2...I have written down a few of my key questions now, was thinking of PMing you, but I think these questions could help other foreign investors too if answered.Thanks once again, would be really great to get yours or Aaron's opinion on it!
