Credit history for out of country investor

[Gideon Spekterman]

Hey everyone,

I'm currently searching for my first rental property which I plan to fund using full out of pocket cash.

Looking forward at future deals, I know that if I would want to apply for any loan, the minimum requirement is to have a check of my credit history. Being a US citizen living out of the country since the age of 7, I don't have a credit history. Like most normal people, I have a bank account, credit card and pay all my bills on time, only where I live (Israel) we just don't have such a thing as personal credit reports or credit history.

How can an out of country investor qualify for a loan without credit history in the US? Is it possible as a rental property owner to qualify for a loan or refinance the property based on the performance of the property?
