Vietnamese Investor
Buy a U.S. income property as a foreign national, using financing rather than all cash.
All case studies
Challenge
The investor had capital in Vietnam and assumed a U.S. purchase had to be all cash, having no U.S. income history or credit file. They also had no way to judge whether a listing's advertised returns would hold up once inspection, vacancy and financing costs were accounted for.
Outcome
The investor moved forward with a financed purchase rather than an all-cash one, with the property's numbers verified before the offer instead of after.
Our role
- Reviewed foreign national and DSCR loan programs and what each would require
- Established realistic buying power before the property search started
- Coordinated the search, offer and closing alongside a licensed real estate agent, title and escrow
- Coordinated inspection, appraisal and rent-comparable review, then walked through the resulting numbers
