I'm not sure on a time frame yet as capital wealth right now seems foreign but am eager for some guidance and mentoring.Thank you for the long winded time to introduce myself.

Instead of seeking a mentor I played to my strengths, and am now having my education paid for.My long term goal in REI is to have my own portfolio with at least forty residential properties spread through out the country and some commercial properties in foreign countries (I've been outside the country many times and feel this is essential for me). 

How does the picture change for foreign based investor with very also good credit but no credit history (do they just lower the LTV?

If I purchase reperforming notes through an investment LLC I've created, do I need to file that LLC as a foreign LLC in the state where the home/loan is?  

Being an out of state investor in every state, I'm looking for cooperation partners who want to build a lasting business relationship and are keen on repeat business, as well as tips of lenders who will work with LLCs in foreign ownership.

I do however have questions about financing options for foreign nationals like myself, especially students with F1 visa's.

On the conventional side, there are lenders who will lend to foreigners purchasing investment properties, but it's difficult and underwriting is more scrutinizing because of the guidelines that must be upheld.

Portugal is also one of the best countries for buying a house, because it has clear and transparent tax rules and offers facilities for obtaining residence permits, as part of new legal provisions that are more attractive to foreign investors.It also has a special regime for non-habitual residents, aimed at attracting foreign investors through very favourable income tax rates.

@Jay Hinrichs you must think we're a foreign country the way we do real estate over this way lol

I have posted else where that a major market crash could happen anytime if there is a currency crisis.
