If they say no then you can investigate other financing options or just cross it off your list.The 2nd one you say $700 cash flow once you move out, but is that $700 after mortgage + taxes + vacancy + repairs, etc?

I investigated who owns this property and found its owned by an LLC.

Great to see other Aussies investigating the US market! 

Hello My name is Stephen I’m a newbie and only have one rental but I own an Investigation Company and could Help with your skip tracing since that is what we do.

I've been investigating since reading your post.

Any thing else to investigate beforehand, things to watch for, what to do, how to take the money--cashier checks in various denominations, what?

You have to do the investigative work.

You might investigate hard money lenders.

The last thing you want is the federal government investigating your business practices.
