Perhaps I didn't formulate my question very clearly in my original post, but it's basically: if terms are "good" for Americans, and "****" for non-Americans, is there something "in between" for foreign nationals partnering up with a creditworthy American?

You have to know a little about their situation so that you can formulate a solution for them.Make sure that solution includes some good terms for you or a good price well below market or perhaps BOTH.I dont know your numbers, but if the property is worth 300k, dont offer 290k just because it needs 10k in repairs.

Look up Assembly bill 968 & become well versed on it's benefits/drawbacks.Throughly understand El Dorado counties TIM fee (formerly known as TIF fee) & how it impacts your underwriting.For dispositions keep in mind your buyers pool will be affected by fire insurance the further up the western slope the house sits.Have a well formulated exit strategy in case the dispo is slow, which may tie up capital for a while.Don't overleverage as transactional volume is a bit low currently.
