In other words, you really have to take and internalize Robert Kiyosaki's advice that investors have to see value that no one else can.

International taxation is a complex area so you would need the scale to bear legal fees for tax attorneys  and CPAs on both sides of the border.

They'll ask why, and you can either ignore or state that, "such decision was made after considering their application against your internal criteria required to qualify."

Their rates/points are on a sliding scale depending on the risk tier they assign you based on their own internal criteria, primarily personal credit score and experience (they do pull a personal credit report and require a personal guaranty, even when lending to an entity or Corp .. and the risk tier is also based on the amount of prior flips/exits in the previous 12 - 24 months).Your risk tier also determines the max LTV they'll loan you based on the ARV.They also require at least 10% down, plus closing costs.
