I'm not sure that it applies to your situation, but I have worked deals this year that meant I can buy cashflow positive property, without requiring a large cash deposit.

Are you able to get your cash back if finance falls thru ?

So far I have only put down $1000 and that is what I stand to loose, I think the loan outstanding on this property is way above the selling price so I taking over the mortgage is probably not an option.

Steve from Key mortgages could not find a suitable lender, so I'm pretty stumped. My brokers in the US have only one lender, who put a product back on the market on Friday, that will lend to foriegn nationals, but they are not sure if I will meet the criteria as this will be my 3rd home!!

I am considering raising the funds over here, does anyone have any advise on that option please....

It is so frustrating, I have the downpayment, excellent payment history on both the other loans but just can't get the finance!!!

Thanks for all the advise and contacts.
Bernie
