Hi there, I've been looking into purchasing my first residential property somewhere stateside. My intention is to purchase a property and rent it out as a I continue living abroad. Needing a mortgage to do so, I was wondering if there'd be any issues getting a mortgage in the US considering I've lived overseas since my early 20s and am now in my 30s. I have filed my US taxes yearly since then and declared my foreign and only income each time to the IRS. Not sure if this could help my case with lenders or not. Credit score wise, I'm assuming it's null, never having a credit card or an opportunity to build credit when I was in the US. I'm uncertain whether this could also be a decisive factor for lenders. Provided obtaining a mortgage is at all possible in my case, what would that actually look like? Are there only certain banks/lenders in the US that deal with US expats? What documentation might be required? I'm completely new to the world of real estate investing and am unfamiliar with lots still. I appreciate your help, thanks everyone.
