Getting a Loan as an U.S. Expat

[Benjamin Poole]

I am a U.S. citizen who has been living abroad for the past nine years. I work for an Australian company, so I've filed taxes in the U.S. for years as required by law, but haven't had any W2 forms. I don't own any property anywhere, but I want to purchase a home in the U.S. for investment purposes. Has anyone in a similar situation been successful at obtaining a mortgage in the U.S.?
