Hey all,Recently got dual-citizenship (US citizen, obtained Mexican citizenship) and am planning on buying a home in Mexico as part-time STR.

You only options are going to be DSCR or a true commercial loan.Both of those are going to require 25% down for a "First time" buyer with (zero) landlord experience.

You make money when you buy1) "There is never a bad time to buy"2) "Interest rates are so high right now it kills every deal"

Feedback regarding your personal experiences rates changing; hidden fees; closing on time; professionalism of the loan officer you worked with, etc., are all appreciated, for the below listed lenders, and we are open to new suggestions for lenders not listed

If you are able to make cash flow on the investment and have it pay for itself in the time of owning it, then it may make sense.

3 for now I have many contractors and PM in place, happy to help  Hi Bob, thanks for the reply the property management company is the one I have been struggling with finding  the most so would be super helpful if you had any strong recommendations I could vet You need contractors as well TRUST me the ones you have spoken with and think they are what you need, 99.9999% of the time just kiss your money goodby, I am not speculating. 

Tax rules can be changed at any time on a whim.

What is the monthly time commitment, and does the cash flow meet the hourly value of your time?

If you put it out there asking for a 3-5 year lease with a small business or startup in your mind, but H&R Block or Supercuts comes along asking for a 10 year NNN (& it's corporate) and agrees to the rent amount you requested, there's no reason not to entertain that, you got better than what you were expecting (there's a reason NNN properties, or ones with a few NNN tenants sprinkled in that are national chains, often sell for lower cap rates), it's not like taxes or hair cuts are going obsolete any time soon. 

I am doing One Time Showing Agreements for a few so they understand how I work before signing with me
