However, I’d love to hear insights from the community:1.Are there specific lenders or institutions you’d recommend that cater to international investors?

One last thing – we recommended you create a Status column on your spreadsheet, now we’ll explain why.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

I get that you’re trying to drum up business for your interior design services, but i’d recommend replying to other people‘s posts with helpful info, not spamming this forum with new posts that don’t introduce anything insightful.Finally, for folks reading this, I would add that there are amazing interior designers in places like Romania and Brazil and Sri Lanka who will do complete redesigns for you at very inexpensive prices.

Could you please recommend any local real estate agents?

I recommend that you speak with a real estate accountant to see if you will benefit from a cost segregation first. 

What I recommend people do is tell the lender ok great I am going to want to use my own title company to close this so funds would go to them.

Ask for their advice and maybe even something a little corny, like whether they’d be willing to write a letter of recommendation for your lender when the time comes.

@Dawn MurrayI recommend you seek your own attorney in this as well - typically in these situations there is very little to go around but whoever gets the first lawsuit and judgment wins.

@Marcos De la Cruz There's no hard & fast minimum - it's based on your personal return preferences...usually I recommend to my CFO clients that they make an annual somewhat higher than what they could get by investing in the stock market.
