Before diving deep, consider both cities—weigh their pros and cons based on your specific investment goals and risk tolerance.

For primary home lending, several banks have Foreign National programs that accept a foreign credit report.

Everything comes with hard work and risks. 

With this timeframe it will take several months to complete a rehab.

Do I feel comfortable knowing where syndicators can "hide" risks?

Hi Sean,I own several cash flowing properties in Michigan.

if its all your money and risk. then the 50 /50 split is not warranted at this level.I would want a better split for sure.. something like Hey we pay you set fee and a bonus but no way 5050 at least for me

@Christopher Martingenuinely curious what the appeal is - obviously lending to a trusted partner is one thing, but having to vet individual deals and run the risk of a 100% loss to get a 12% return seems... intense.the crowd funding sites are a non-starter with me - i will either buy actual real estate that i control, or index funds.  

@Lou Bar- thanks ...all lenders should be in the same ballpark  with pricing options  BUT .....they  will likely also vary ....best thing to do if needing a loan is to contact several lenders on the same day / use the same  criteia /  get  quotes for the scenario and  then make a decsion on using  one for the loan or the  pre approval ...also keep in mind that loan pricing  changes daily 

No Risk No Reward - I know... but a part of this investment will mean that I'll have to liquidate about 60% of my portfolio to come up with the DP. 3) Insurance right now is at a little over $30k/year, and I expect this to keep on growing.
