This caused a historically unique opportunity for investors - they could buy Class A properties and immediately cashflow when renting them out.This couldn't last forever, and it didn't, as excited new investors drove up prices.

Ultimately, you will need to have the borrowed funds in USD and ideally in your US business entity bank account to sail through underwriting with US lenders on US properties.Caveat: the rates will likely be something like 10-12% so it would not make sense on a long-term holding, more like on a down payment on a purchase and rehab value-add project that you will eventually sell (or cash-out refinance) to pay off the borrowed funds in a few months.

HUD loans will take drastically longer (I've never used one personally), but there can be benefits to using these loans if you're a long-term owner.The interest rates in your Key Considerations seem very low for agency loans and they're definitely low for bridge loans. 

I’m in it for the long haul.What would yall do?

My girlfriend and I have been looking at properties over the last couple of months due to life situations changing and having a decent chunk of change saved for a down payment.

If your goals are long-term - this market will offer a ton of appreciation and steady renter demand.

The higher initial cash flow market will in general have worse cash flow over a long hold than more expensive markets.
