Real Estate / Home loan in Poland based on my US credit score? [15]

This is probably a really dumb question...but are there any international banks in Poland that could potentially provide me with a home loan based on my U.S. credit score (and proof of annual income over 3 years)? I think I saw ING Direct and HSBC are located in Poland. I am self-employed and have American clients (remote work), get paid in U.S. dollars, and a great credit score.

Or perhaps I should ask: How do American expats get a loan in Poland to buy a home?

Real Estate / Home loan in Poland based on my US credit score? [15]

and if your money isn't going into a Polish bank from USA, your income is not verifiable.

Technically this is exactly what I intend to do. I would come in with 20% cash (or thereabouts) of the total cost of the loan. Was hoping HSBC in Poland would be a good bank to get a loan with considering they can "see" my good U.S. credit score and coupled with a few years of bank statements (money coming from U.S. into Polish bank account)....that would make them feel more confident in giving me a loan. And yes I know it's based upon my income. I can't ask for ten million dollars or anything like that.

Work / Creative jobs in Poland? [10]

@Lyzko

Are most of the Polish IT companies trying to enter into the U.S. market--and if so--do you think they might have interest in hiring a native English copywriter for marketing efforts (blogs, whitepapers, case studies, website content, etc)? Or would I have to speak decent Polish to even think of applying for a job like that?

I have worked with several "non U.S." SaaS companies (as a remote worker---one-off jobs) over the years. I'm currently working with a Czech company to help bring their website (that's designed to sell their products in America) from broken English into pitch-perfect and persuasive English.
