Unfortunately we would not be able to proceed as per guidelines lenders can only provide financing to those currently in the United States.”I’m currently military working at an international organization.

I enjoy networking with private lenders and ending deals to and from

Agents, lenders, contractors, property managers, are all crucial to your success. 

You will need to get a local, rockstar Realtor, contractor, lender, and property manager.https://www.biggerpockets.com/...I'm a Columbus, OH fan.

Is a lender even willing to fund this?

Quote from @Jesse Turner: Feel free to DM me about the AirDNA questions :) I'm looking for a community bank or portfolio lender who can offer a vacation home loan with a 10% down payment.

A lot of people don’t realize this, but in addition to real estate agents selling stuff, they are also being sold, every brokerage, every title company, even lenders, have courses on literally scripts, how to build out your social media, how to find fsbo listings etc, truth is none of these are effective, pretty much the only way to be a successful agent is either ton of ad spend or the hard work of meeting people in person through events meetups etc, but brokerages make money by head count, even title and lenders are happy if you close a few deals a year with them, so they sell this stuff to agents who than use those scripts on you, it’s a whole prymond scheme lol

@Shawn ChervinskisThere can be no direct or indirect benefit between you and the plan, and the fact that you would occupy a unit of the duplex is a 100% deal-killer for an IRA or 401k.You could use a Solo 401k to purchase a property held entirely by the 401k, and to which all expenses and income are attributed to the plan.A 401k (or IRA) can use non-recourse financing, but typically non-recourse lenders will want to see more like 35-40% down and a minimum of 10% cash in the plan for reserves.

I have been under contract on a duplex ready to close, but the second investor has ghosted me and the lender.

Which lender should I explore?
