any private lender can offer 50% LTV with 6% interest rate.if you want 2% for the investment rental you need to be citizen :) if the gov. opened the door for everybody in the planet to invest with 2% then there will be more housing price increase.

I don't understand why any person on this planet would torture their self with a single family home.Guessing the OP's scenario, I need to tell another one of my short stories.
