Foreigner looking to invest in US
Hey there,
I'm from Ireland and looking to start investing in US real estate. Here in Ireland I'm self employed and manage a number of different properties. I'm also partnered up on a couple of deals here but I'd like to explore expanding into the US as I read a lot of books & listen to many podcasts about the US market.
Over the past few months I have been piecing together small bits of information but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions of books, podcasts, blogs etc that offer a lot of information on this type of situation.
I have been in contact with a number of banks in the US about acquiring finance but most of them are more geared towards helping foreign nationals purchase one property to live in while they move or work within the US. This type of situation doesn't apply to me at the moment. I have saved up a lot of money and could purchase a property in cash but I really don't want to deploy so much capital all at once. I'd prefer to leverage it to buy multiple properties.
If any hard money lenders could jump in and clarify if there is an option outside of traditional finance that I could avail of I would be happy to listen.
Also, I will be in Phoenix, Arizona next month for a week if anyone is interested in meeting up (Even if its only for a friendly chat) I'd love to hear from you too.
Thanks!

Hi, Jordan, on behalf of Phoenix and the rest of America...welcome!
What dates will you be in town? There are a lot of good meet ups and real estate investor events that you might attend, depending on your schedule. Some of these have hard money lenders you can talk with to gather more information.
I would be happy to post the events here, if they coincide within your time here.
I bet by adding "looking for financing in Phoenix" to your post headline, you could get quite a bit of feedback.
Wishing you great success!
