I suggest you do this regardless of whether the PM is licensed or not.Pro Tip: Even in states where licenses are not required for a PM, it's always a good idea to hire one who has voluntarily obtained one.

The apartment had new plan filed calling it a home office, the living room was called a waiting room, and the kitchen was renamed an entertainment bar.

It's just entertainment to most of us and again, if you go and read the initial post, no one would know how you got to this point.

Hi BPDoes anyone know how to obtain lending for an investment property outside the United States?

Two of the properties on the market for a loooong time, dont show any sold dates on the mls and appear to have been turned into rentals.To be fair not all his houses took that long to sell, but I notice at least one took longer ... quick crunching of his average dom, looks like 180.8 dom for 14 of the properties that he used in his presentation (he says to verify his information look it up on zillow, I noticed he didn't say, look it up on mls and alalyze the data for real.Thought you might find this info entertaining if nothing else.

What would be your suggestion in this case for me to obtain a mortgage with as good of a rate as possible and leaving little to no money in the property?

How will you obtain background/credit checks?

Thanks, JohnWell, congratulations on procuring this lead, but…..perhaps you should have obtained a little more knowledge before sending out the postcards?  

If you aren't sure how to do this, there are plenty of resources on BP, but you might entertain hiring an experienced PM.

Obtaining an adequate amount of liability coverage should cover liability concerns.
