Thanks No US Based lenders will lend overseas.

With hard-money, lenders will finance 75-80% of purchase with 90-100% rehab costs, so it is doable with <50k assets.Creative financing is also a great way to get started.

Use their resources (lenders/HM) to get ahead and then find your first property, if you need more cash,... flip it, don't long hold it... and when you get established start holding some properties. 

That doesn’t make sense to me, but most of my real estate is in Arizona so I don’t have many bank/lender contacts in California. 

I generally buy foreclosed houses either off the courthouse steps or through one of the auction websites after they converted to the lender, sometimes on sites like Auction.com, but sometimes I buy properties through the auctions ordered by the probate court or bankruptcy court.

As long as you develop your Core 4 like David Green’s mentioned in his long-distance investing strategy (realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender), you should be able to invest anywhere with confidence.

Don't worry about it, there is a lender that will give you money in 2nd position for closing and repairs on an over leveraged property, to buy it Subject To.

This one is for all of my hard-working lender and broker friends on BP.

Hi,I spoke to a lender about a home loan for a primary residence.
