to buy a house from Turkey

Zafer Avsar
Posted

I currently reside in Turkey, but approximately 28 years ago, I was living in Long Island, NY. At that time, 
used to be a vendor at Attias Flia Market in Sayville. I held a bank account with Northfolk Bank. However, I believe that another bank acquired Northfolk Bank recently, resulting in the loss of my checking account and credit history. As I am in the process of setting up an LLC in one of the 50 states, I will require a new bank account. I never anticipated that the bank where I held an account would be acquired by another institution, leading to the disappearance of my account.

I want to buy a house in of those 50 states, but I think I need a credit history. SinceI possess a social security number, and I am wondering if it is possible to open a new account remotely and online. 

In other words, in order to buy a house for investment, what kind of road map shall I follow?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi Zafer, as an international investor you can purchase a property without a SS#. Generally 25% down payment is required but no credit required. Check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for what is referred to as a 'Foreign national' mortgage.
