That type of sizable deduction could help whittle down a large tax bill.https://www.investopedia.com/articles/07/oil-tax-break.aspIf anyone has experience participating in this type of investment or knows well-known and respected operators in this space that put together limited partnerships and private placements, please share that info here.

I am mostly hung up on the LTV because I really need all the cash in my account for security.

Private money and maybe checking rates at your local banks!

I'll have about 300k available to put into multis once I sell one of my places, and as much as I would like to buy in cash to avoid the hassle, I would rather use leverage to secure a few more doors.Does anyone know of a lender who works with out of country investors?

Hi @Victoria KingIf you "lease to own" the property to them without a strong enough down payment (has to be above and beyond what it would be for 1st, last and security deposit), you risk having a nightmare tenant that is going to trash the place. 

You can request additional security deposit but new laws affect how long you can keep that, I believe only one year but you will need to independently verify this.
