Ken,  I appreciate the positive and informative response.

It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.

Thank you to everyone who's responded, I appreciate the advice.  

Also looked for Florida's market (we did some land entitlement project in the past over there).If you also have good direct lender for foreigners I would appreciate the referral.

However, none of this matters until I can get a deal on the table.Any guidance or mentorship from this community would be greatly appreciated as I navigate these first steps!

Any opinions or insights are appreciated!

Thanks - appreciate the referral.  

The numbers tend to work out more favorably there, which can simplify hitting your investment targets.On the other hand, if you're leaning more towards appreciation and forced equity, Portland could be beneficial, especially with strategies like house hacking.

Appreciate it!

I appreciate you acknowledging your BP tribal chief like this.
