Mortage for European investor

[Emmy B.]

Hello all,

On our way, to start investing in US RE, we ran into the financing problem.
With so many things going on in the States, about financing RE, we found out, that we aren't welcome anymore at conventional lenders. They will only except foreign investors, when living in the US AND having a job in the US.

I was wondering how we can work around this.

I've heared and read something about private lenders. How will I find private lenders? Is it easy to get a private loan, or is everybody looking for them?
What conditions are normal, when it comes to privat lenders to foreigners?

Are there other ways, to get RE in the US financed?
Are there people here who've faced the same problems?

If anyone could help us on more information, we 'd be very thankfull!
