Hi @Adam Ferro,Renters Warehouse is a large national firm but each market is ran more like a franchise. 

There's a lot of national home builders who are TERRIBLE. 

I'd reach out to Aaron Chapman at Security national and discuss.

Depending on the amount, you have some interesting options as a foreign national without permanent residency. 

Our nation has had crises before.

No big, national, publicly traded banks will do what we need.

@Ruben Esparza Aaron Chapman with Security National can help you lending wise regardless of the market you land he.

Under the federal Fair Housing Act, landlords who live in a property with four or fewer rental units (this would include your situation) are exempt from all but one aspect of the federal law: They may not advertise in a way that indicates a preference for (or against) members of a protected class (race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status and disability).

Get cash out of the paid off property via cashout refi- conventional or portfolio product.Then, assuming you have the credit/income/assets buy your next with 25% down.Local banks are better than national ones.
