Hi Jr, as a newbie,  I recommend going after pre-foreclosures versus foreclosed properties -- your mission would be to connect with the homeowner versus foreclosed properties which can be a scavenger hunt that leads to nowhere.   

I would recommend either calling them up or going to the website and checking out the general process for landlords as well as requesting an inspection checklist so you already know what they're going to be looking for. 

What type of loan would you recommend if I have no credit history since I don't live in the US?

If you haven't attended any of the local meetups, I strongly recommend getting involved with that.

You came to the best possible place to grow your network and knowledge base before your first property.I'd recommend checking out local meetups, BP webinars, and BP books.

Need some advise / recommendations please. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Conventional financing, 20% down payment Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Tres - For starters I would recommend you read "Short Term Rental, Long Term Wealth" by Avery Carl; You can find that book right here on BiggerPockets.

So I'd recommend thinking about who you want in the property and then determining the bed configurations and number
