@Allison Littman To structure the purchase creatively, you could split the $600k transaction into a $400k purchase agreement and a $200k charitable donation to the seller’s tax-exempt organization.

Hi @Helena Goyvaerts,Investing in the US from a different country is fairly similar to investing as a US citizen, but there are a few differences and a few things to keep in mind.1.

Usually, this is a sign of stability and a preview of the types of people who live in the area. 

Combining short term rentals and a venue is a huge advantage because guests would not have to travel far and you could offer better rates as part of a event package.My current venue focuses more on baby showers, content creation and birthday celebrations rentals.

This can lead to increased financial freedom and a reduced environmental impact.

Since the last time I was online, I have grown the investing to fix and flipping and a portfolio of 4 properties that are producing passive income.  

The property is off grid, but already set up with solar and a compost toilet and things of that nature.

I'm an investor and a licensed mortgage broker who has done fix and flips both using my home's equity and borrowing against the investment property.If you (1) have enough equity in your home to fully fund the deals, (2) don't mind tying that equity up for these deals vs saving it for a rainy day and (3) are ok linking the place you sleep with the success of the flips, this could make sense.We offer a ton of different fix and flip programs including putting 10% down on the purchase price and funding 100% of the rehab.

Depending on the costs and a build to rent approach could work if you'd be willing to hold the properties as rentals.
