A group of private foreign investors approached me and would like to invest on any current and future house flips that I am working on.  

Karen and Jim sat a with me, told stories, and gave advice for about an hour AND I exchanged info with Dawn, she sent me a deal 2 days ago, and I put an offer in today!

So they might consider, say, an unseasoned, stated income, 630 credit, cashout, foreign national loan at 60-75%.   

I think many Canadians have forgotten that aspect (priced the same but a 20-30% premium due to exchange). 

I'd be happy to take a lower return on a higher dollar amount in exchange for less work/effort/stress!

My goal is to replace my income through rental properties and trade up via 1031 exchange.

My ideal scenario RIGHT NOW would be to offer $160k to the seller, offer the prospective buyer $30k - $40k in renovations of their choosing in exchange for a purchase price of $260k.Any creative thoughts on this deal, financing, etc I would love to hear them.  

I believe they do finance foreign nationals.

So I'm about to list a "break even" SFR for sale mainly to defer taxes since I've got my eye on an income producing 4plex but seller may not wait for forward exchange to take its course.  

I think the real issue is all the foreign investors looking to park capital here.
