Depending on the country I would first see if any local banks will loan to Americans. 

Aim for a $75,000 ARV to play it "safe".As far as private money you would probably have to find someone local that knows the area and wouldn't have a problem taking ownership of a property like this if things go sideways.My guess is you'll have a tough time finding an individual that wants to loan on it. 

The loan will be kept in her name while the deed is transferred to you.

If that looks good, I do my own google check and also look at local court records just in case something was missed by the background check.

Some things I wish I would've done sooner:- Find out the requirements for each local MLS you intend to join.

I understand that investing outside of my local area may require partnering with someone on the ground who has experience and knowledge of the specific market.Once again, thank you both for sharing your valuable perspectives and advice.

Enhance your networking capabilities and build connections by participating in local gatherings and becoming a member of Facebook groups.

As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!

I bought this home prior to our marriage and it’s fully in my name.
