You already have most of the signs, low interest,upfront fees,  add little or no down payment, no lenders license, no physical office or presence  , easy approval , and impossible to find investors in your area that you can verify by property deed of trust or mortgage.

We purchased a foreclosure property for investment and didn't find out until a year later after a lien was placed that it was in an HOA -- even though city records had our correct mailing address for the property, HOA attorneys sent notices to physical address and tenant did not pass them along, ever. 

Vicki Sutton in Oregon the address of the company must be a physical address.

It's a 5 building 174 unit complex, 1978-1983 builds, physically in good shape but could use updating.  

One thing to note is that my sister-in-law has not reported the physical abuse to anyone other than may wife (as of last night) as she has been afraid to tell anyone. 

Including the physical work.  

Initially started looking in Los Angeles, California area, as this is where I live, but the market and prices are insane for someone with no experience and daddy with a fat wallet.

My absolute best advice when it comes to managing a remote construction project in which an owner or investor cannot consistently be physically present is to not do it.

Also, in most countries, it's the physical residency that provides advantages rather than the nationality.

Some have said that because these are accessory units not physically connected to the existing building that I can (i) maintain my current residential financing and (ii) I should not need to use commercial financing should I wish to refi/ a future buyer should be able to get a conventional mortgage.
