I bet the smart STR folks here will be quick to weigh in with suggestions. 

Meaning, speak with lenders who are experts with "foreign nationals".Now, as a 15 year, out-of-state investor my recommendation is to ALWAYS choose whatever city you have the most trustworthy contacts in.

Even observing a property purchase or rental setup in person can be invaluable.Since you value relationships and want to meet in person, starting with local meetups or REIA events is probably your best bet.

For Commercial lenders, your best bet will be LOCAL banks who can possibly walk the property with their lending team.

So it would be much more difficult for them to bet on appreciation. 

Ill bet there's a FB group for machinist, a good chance the forums also have FB.

Buying a property that could be a home run or a huge hole you toss money into could come up from time to time when looking for a new investment.https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/95100-Pige...I bet AJ Wong knows something about this place!

I bet they will be more aggressive with docs and questions along the way DSCR or not.

Yes the Class feature Cost a bit extra which is a bummer bet the support for it is amazing, and it is easy to allow access for Tax Accountants to pull the reports they need rather than my clients playing middleman. 

Overall, it's a safe bet it'll rent just fine just don't be crazy expensive for the unit/market and be a good landlord for longevity.
