Clouded titles are often uninsurable from a title insurance perspective. 

As far as financing goes, I have now a steady income (although a small history), a FICO score over 760 (but never had a loan), and my dad who could co-sign if needed.

However there is one bank in Croatia that helps foreigners with loans.

So, some quick back of the napkin math for the theoretical turnkey scenario you described above:- Purchase price: $2.5 million- Down payment: $850K- Loan amount: $1.650 million - Gross Scheduled Income: $288K- Operating expense ratio: 35%- NOI: $178K- Debt service at 6.7% interest = $128K annually - Before tax cash flow = $47,1999 - Cash-on-cash Return in Year 1 = 5.55%A $47K / year return on an initial investment of $850K seems pretty modest, no?

Who covers the tax bill when they don't pay the tax bill or the insurance? 

Knob and tube is very difficult to insure. 

Look up the loan officer and not the company (do they have any online reviews or social media presence; if possible look up their production numbers to see if they are any good)4.

Hi Nancy,If you need a start or are curious on any sort of loans, shoot me a DM or email!

Most loans are sold to those two entities.
