The only thing that I've heard that they don't especially excel at is smaller owners, but I'm also a member of the American Apartment Owners Association which has a good bead on the smaller investors.

Here's an article from Market Watch on > "The danger of foreign buyers gobbling up American homes"What's your reaction and thought on this issue. 

I apologise in advance for any ignorant-sounding comments, still learning the ropes of the american language like rehab not renovate!

Like a typical American, I am a mix of nationalities.

Thanks for the answer, as a matter of fact, I am non-american, is there any chance to get a financial support from the bank for this.Furthermore, how could I know if the appraisal is legitimate and have adequate experiance, and is there firm that taking care of the rental.

Unfortunately, I don't think you are going to like my answer.Due to the implementation of the SAFE act, as well as the regulations of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, owner occupied hard money loans will only be available in very limited circumstances and by very few lenders.I have just returned from the American Association of Private Lenders convention.

@Scott Allaire Although you have received great advice, most of it is American focused.

Are these prices about right for an American to do real estate business in Mexico?

Looking forward to meeting the Canadian members and learning from the American members of how things are done in the States. 

This type of financing structure requires discipline and long-term planning which most Americans don't have.
