Running a Mortgage Credit Report on any potential tenant will pull up more dirt than a worthless online consumer credit report.If you have someone with an 800+ score, make concessions to have them as renters.If you have someone with a 580 score, pass!  

With PNC i may not have enough credit is my only worry unless maybe i decided to go FHA if that was an option.

Still hurts the seller's credit, but less than a foreclosure. 

So theoretically all I need now is to build a decent credit score in the US and I could get Freddie/Fannie loans without actually being a US resident?

@Jermaine Riggs   Remember the 6PsPrior Planning Prevents P*ssPoor Performance There are steps that you can be taking today that will better ensure you will be able to qualify for the best of terms on your purchase in TX.1. have a Mortgage Broker run a Tri-Merged MORTGAGE credit report and pay the extra $15 for them to also run the "What If" score increase simulator to know how best to pay down debt in the interim2. start eating MREs and saving like a maniac until you close as the more money you can show in reserves Post-Closing, the better the programs you can qualify for.etc,etc,etc,   

In your case, you should be able to because I am sure you dont have a separate bill under a partnership name or partnership is not earning interest in its own bank account and so forth.But your argument loses some strength where it is clear that the investors have jointly negotiated the terms of the transactions and would be unable to separately use their interests in the property without significant cooperation and joint efforts among the co-owners.

I’m curious if anyone has experience using a line of credit within a JV or other partnership and if so, how have you structured it?

I wasn't paying a loan application fee, credit report fee, loan origination fee or points.

The U.S. subsidiaries of three of the Big-5 Canadian banks (TD, RBC, BMO) will lend to Canadians based upon your credit history and financial resources here at home (with some limitations/restrictions).
