A rent payment isn't enough to cover the DSCR payment, HELOC payment, tax, insurance, and maintenance.

I'd love to start my networking and also understand the tax complications of buying property while abroad.also FYI - my husband and I are looking to move to the USA at one point but most likely in 2026.
