i am adjusting my strategy and going to try to keep expanding my funnel.I don't think @Russell Brazil is saying to go out and blindly buy a terrible deal... just that no, the ship hasn't sailed on Boston (as I don't think it has either) and RE remains a good investment.happy to continue to dialogue... hope this helps

Emphasize how this arrangement could work to their benefit, offering steady income, avoiding a traditional sale process, and giving them the freedom to move forward with their plans such as buying that sailboat and sailing around the world.If they ultimately decide they’re not interested in selling, you’re still in a great position to continue your search and buy your own property in the near future.

Ultimately, you will need to have the borrowed funds in USD and ideally in your US business entity bank account to sail through underwriting with US lenders on US properties.Caveat: the rates will likely be something like 10-12% so it would not make sense on a long-term holding, more like on a down payment on a purchase and rehab value-add project that you will eventually sell (or cash-out refinance) to pay off the borrowed funds in a few months. 

Happy sailing. 

Happy sailing!

If you are doing a BRRRRR with a DSCR rental exit, smooth sailing.

Well, I can say from my personal experience owning only A/B located properties, if you maintain all appropriate licenses, take care of your properties, and are responsive to your tenants its smooth sailings.

Not too bad, especially in a market that’s been anything but easy.But let’s be honest—it’s not all smooth sailing.

Once you do your own due diligence and the numbers check out, its pretty smooth sailing with R2R's support.

It's not cash-flowing the most, but the renter has paid on time, and it's been smooth sailing.
