I will be approaching the landlord of my current property with an offer, but I want to have finance sorted first.I am looking at taking a 30 year mortgage and will be putting at 20% deposit.Any banks or brokers that would work with some foreign rental income?

When people start calling I have a list of question to ask to find their level of motivation.

Todah Dave, Now I'm really getting motivated   I cannot express how excited I am to have the assistance you offer.  

I look for motivated sellers who are tired of their properties and want to sell it quickly.

We both work full time, so I know this will be a challenge; however, I've been listening to quite a few podcasts and I'm motivated by those of you who have built portfolios with full time jobs.

I am in Denton, Texas, and I am highly motivated to get started and meet other investors, realtors, or anyone with genuine interest in real estate. 

I can see how this can help keep you motivated.

If they would be willing to guide and challenge me, I ensure to be  an eager-to-learn, highly motivated student.

Look for owner financing, for sale by owner, and pre foreclosure (ska motivated sellers).

Ironically enough I was just listening to BP Podcast 162 and they were discussing LLC's and other sorts of beneficial tax info.https://www.youtube.com/watch?
