Currently investing in the Northwest Florida market, and looking at options to cash out refi these properties- I'm a Canadian citizen/resident, and have contacted several national/regional banks looking for a 75% LTV, however the closest I've come is 65% due to the properties being foreign owned.  

Is there anyone out there who can offer some advice on how I can either grow credit in the US as a foreign national or build business credit?

Hi Eric - I do the same thing - the problem I have is when I sell the property and do a 1031 exchange, then I need to keep that LLC for the new property which is really confusing since the name of the LLC is now referencing  the street address of a property that I no longer own or am affiliated with.Do you know if you can change the names of LLCs?

Great meet up, met tons of great people and exchange a lot of great stories.See you next time.

The best value on this site comes when people can exchange views, discuss and learn from them.

If you do that for 2 yrs then you can qualify the property as an income property and do a 1031 exchange. 

The last meetup in Oakland was a great exchange, so time for another one!

So how does syndication compare to DSTs for someone who does NOT already have a property for 1031 exchange?  

You can sell a property and do a 1031 exchange as many times as you want. 

I also know that doing a 1031 exchange will enable us to carry all of the proceeds from the sale as a deposit on a new property.
