No international lenders.

I’m looking for a brokerage where I can put my language skills and international cultural experience to work helping both homebuyers and investors.A bit about me: I hold a Master’s in International Business and a Bachelor’s in IT.

@Sean O'Keefe- none of the referrals I got from my internal network have REI experience. 

That’s why you don’t see it on Apartments.com.Instead, you create an internal written screening policy (credit, income, background, pets, etc.) and just make sure you apply it the same way to every applicant.

The market here had one of the highest rental yields globally in 2024 and continues to attract both seasoned and first-time investors internationally.

The report highlights Houston’s internationally diverse population, major corporate presence and status as home to the world’s largest medical complex as the key contributors to its global standing.

Hey Leah - I always recommend joining local FB groups for better local data since this is a National/International group. 

When it comes to structuring a deal, most developers focus on the capital gap — but lenders focus on readiness.Over the last few years, I’ve noticed that deals move faster (and get better terms) when the borrower has a clean due diligence stack ready before approaching mezzanine or bridge lenders.Here’s a quick checklist we use internally before structuring mezzanine capital between $1M–$100M+ :✅ Updated project financials✅ Detailed pro forma with realistic DSCR assumptions✅ Rent roll or trailing 12-month P&L✅ Capital stack breakdown showing senior + subordinate layers✅ Clear exit or refinance planHaving these ready builds lender confidence and speeds up funding timelines.💡 Curious — for those of you who’ve raised mezzanine or bridge capital recently:What’s one document or metric lenders focused on the most during your due diligence?

They claimed their internal valuation came in $10K lower, so they could only offer 80% LTV.I was shocked.
