I want to speak with a lender to see if we could borrow against our existing properties to put less money down, but I have no idea what the cost would be of 1) the land, 2) improvements on the land, and 3) construction of the home.

Another option is for the wholesaler to purchase the property outright and then sell it to the end buyer concurrently.

I live in Naples, FL, and own two investment properties here.  

This happened to one of my properties, too.

See a few properties with them.

To start your journey, I always suggest looking into a property that you can rent out to cover your mortgage payments and start cash-flowing.

Would any lender also consider properties held overseas?

I have also been a property manager since 2016 for single family homes. 

I have not purchased any occupied properties because the risks involved seem too high.

So any advice on how can we star on asking for a mortgage loan and thinks to avoid in starting investing on properties.ThanksHola Horacio, I have an investment loan where you son can apply using his social and he can buy an investment property without showing income.
