Conventional financing has very specific rules to follow and falsifying information on the application to get a better interest rate or to qualify and then subsequently closing on the property is a really big deal.There are loans out there that do not require seasoning of funds, would allow your friend the investor to not be on the loan (or be on the loan if he/she wants depending on credit), but it's not a conventional loan and the interest rates are not conventional interest rates.  

Although there is concern about China's economy, I don't know know if there is a free fall scenario because the average consumer in China uses a lot less credit that the average US/Canada consumer.

My game plan would be find a buyer whose willing to do $10,0000 down, $650 a month (maybe someone with bad a credit or wont qualify for a bank loan?).

What is the best strategy to apply for multiple loans with minimizing impact on credit score.
