I have some liquid cash in my U.S. bank account and would like to start investing in real estate.

On that note, I'm also wondering if I'd be violating anything in my current loan (30 yr, fixed rate conventional financing on 2-4 unit investment property).

Have you done both, which you prefer, etc...Thanks,BobBob, I personally invest in both direct real estate investments and passive investments (via syndication/crowdfunding).

Unfortunately, I do own investment properties abroad that are still financed, so any lender that has experience with this would be much appreciated, the lack of experience in that regard has been a painful, and long underwriting process at first when I bought and then again when I refinanced my home a few years ago...
