There are a couple lenders that I know of that entertain working with foreign nationals or non perminant residents on loans like that.I'd love to hear about the investments you've done in France.

I am looking to buy investment properties in WNY and finding it hard as a non resident alien to source a mortgage for several reasons:1 The amount I want to borrow at any one time is only around $30K-$50K - ie to a lender, not really enough to justify the extra exposure to a foreigner.2.

I agree with the other posters and as a former resident investor of O-town,the property is a long term hold. the area has apprecited quite a bit in the last 6 years.

You can qualify for 100% financing once you reach a 575 FICO and can provide income to justify the payments.Once you have done that, and have your credit where it needs to be, try purchasing another house in your area as your new residence.

The homes (single family residence, townhouse, condos etc…) selected for this program are in good to excellent condition, in nice neighborhoods and usually do not require rehab.Qualify Credit Partner.
