@Andrew SteffensNo lender is going to take a mortgage on an overseas property because they don’t have the infrastructure (nor the willingness) to try to repossess the property in case of default and even the largest international banks won’t do it.You might hear that somebody in the US got a loan in the US to buy a property overseas but that could be because they gave a US property as collateral or any other collateral or it’s a company that has a strong balance sheet and took an unsecured loan but that would likely defeat the propose of the original poster.If you know of any lender who takes an overseas mortgage as sole security for the loan, let me know as I’d be very interested but  I’ve worked in the banking industry across the work for many years so I know that, if ever there was any, it’d be more the exception rather than the rule. 

It also addressed the security deposit which normally carried forward.

Partial note sales let the seller receive capital without giving up the whole note.Investors get secured payments; sellers get liquidity.Anyone here actively using partials?

Will you be getting social security?

It's a fantastic way to maximize leverage and move quickly.Seller financing is another one I've had success with, especially when the seller is more focused on a steady cash flow than a lump sum.To add a few more to the list, I've also seen local investors:Use a HELOC for the down payment on a hard money loan to get to 100% LTV.Structure joint ventures (JVs) where one partner brings the cash (often from a SDIRA) and the other finds and manages the deal.Cross-collateralize other properties to secure the new purchase with less (or no) cash down.Especially with how competitive things have been around DFW, creativity on the financing side is what makes all the difference.

I'm thinking through seller financing, I could secure ownership of these properties with no money down, and use a 3rd party management firm to handle everything since I am hundreds of miles away (I'm in Dallas and the properties are in San Antonio and Houston).

. - As it's not uncommon for students to drop out or decide they can't get along, you'll want very strong language regarding one tenant moving out and the others remaining - specifically that you won't refund security deposit to one student moving until ALL tenants on lease vacate.- Strong language regarding locks on bedroom doors- Cover landlord?

The second one is a combo Social Security plus Medicare tax.

Same with a securities-backed line of credit if you already have a sizable portfolio.Before pulling the trigger on anything, I’d run a few scenarios with a financial advisor and your CPA so you know exactly what makes the most sense for your situation.

I am seeing the same trend with more investors using short-term debt to secure acquisitions while they wait for permanent financing.
