Any recs on lenders?

Not UK, but Colombia you can’t get a mortgage without a bank account in the country. You can’t get a bank account without being a citizen with a national id. You are allowed to legally own property. What you can do is bring money or a personal loan to another country. That’s what I did. Also you should check on an investment visa. If you want that you need to follow the instructions, fill out the papers to qualify. Credit unions give personal loans. I’m not aware of any U.S. lender that will put a mortgage on foreign real estate. Maybe a hard money lender if any. I did get the construction company to take payments during construction, pay off in 1 year, no interest.

Just bought a new primary residence that needs work. Current home has ~$100k equity after buying in 2019 with <$20k down (appreciated around 20% in the last 3 years, in a major metro area). Would you:

1) Lock in the appreciation & sell now. Use some for renovations/other investments.

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.
