I think that the obvious answer here is to House Hack, but hear me out and please tell me what you would recommend!

Hi Jr, as a newbie,  I recommend going after pre-foreclosures versus foreclosed properties -- your mission would be to connect with the homeowner versus foreclosed properties which can be a scavenger hunt that leads to nowhere.   

What type of loan would you recommend if I have no credit history since I don't live in the US?

I would recommend either calling them up or going to the website and checking out the general process for landlords as well as requesting an inspection checklist so you already know what they're going to be looking for. 

You came to the best possible place to grow your network and knowledge base before your first property.I'd recommend checking out local meetups, BP webinars, and BP books.

I might have a resolution by 4/1, but if it goes any further, then I'll pursue legal action for sure.

If you haven't attended any of the local meetups, I strongly recommend getting involved with that.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Before buying, do an analysis of the market that lets you in on its dynamics, link the type of property that matches your set goals and is in line with the risk you can take, survey the possible financial options open for borrowing money, and finally analyze the cash flow of this business before engaging professionals in managing this apartment complex.Conduct thorough checks on possible properties, covering in-person checks, money checks, checking leases, comparing market prices, checking rents, assessing the condition of the property, and looking over legal contracts.
