my friend, dont you think people that's willing to buy my farts or my skin zoom picture is stupid, that's literally what crypto is.For an investment to be valid, it has to be heavily regulated and underwritten a lot to avoid fraud.Just because Elon Musk and Valley VC promoting it, doesn't mean it's a valid product.

The difficulty with International Students is that you really don't have the option of getting a cosigner, since the law doesn't translate internationally.

They don’t have any skin in the game and want everyone to host.  

@Beau GuidryThese sorts of deals are fraught with potential difficulties. 

What it really boils down to in most instances is do you have money to put skin in the game.

You might have difficulty finding investment loan (DSCR) without owning either primary residence or another property.

We are running into some difficulties finding lenders as we don’t yet have a US credit score.

@Siva Kodali..some private money will allow this, but even that might be few/far between just because if seller is carrying 45% and you're getting a first at 55%, you don't have skin in the game. 

I'm not sure what is your difficulty in going alone...Certainly, you could do any sort of equity split.

Skin in the game is a good thing IMHO.
