Currently own 3 single family homes (In the UK) and trying to get started here my questions are; Do I need to have a conventional mortgage before I get financing for a multifamily?

I’m a UK citizen, but live in Japan, so either way it will be long distance REI.I don’t want this to be a turnkey vs BRRRR thread, but I have questions about the pros and cons of both... thanks in advance. — Turnkey —I have a decent (for me at least) amount of cash saved up, and looking at turnkey investment opportunities in Memphis (thanks to a recommendation from a friend).

We are immigrants from Pakistan who came to the US almost a decade ago and we have two little boys. 

My suggestion is that they invest their money in a good immigration attorney and focus on getting legal status.  

I am in the UK market as I am based here but would like to connect with like minded people all over the world!

I am writing this from London, UK.

If possible, i wanna do a 3% downpayment type loan with the lowest apr offered in the market.Loan amount i need is under 60kRegards, Hi John,For the immigration stuff, see this chart: https://i.imgur.com/QxqxoZT.pngOther than that, the big thing with foreclosures is the property condition.

We have less immigration which has been a traditional demand driver in Toronto.

I am currently on a non-immigrant work visa in the US working as a financial analyst and am looking to invest in real estate on the side.Having done some research I know my options are limited as I am not a permanent resident.

While I do not own a condo, the first investment property I bought is a student rental in Lexington near UK's campus.1.
