It's definitely possible to get a loan as a foreigner but the rates will be high(er) and the downpayment required will be as well.

What is the most cost-efficient way of updating the deed records?

The best tip?

For example, if you are buying in an area that is in are 1980s and above, you might run into a roof that is tile and the paper under the tile needs to be replaced the day you close.

FWIW Jay, please tell that to Jim, whose unicorns and fairy dust response (earlier in the thread) to the problem is as follows:"Also a non-starter is your hyperbolae; "toxic waste lot's"......

This is straight from the CFPB website: "Additionally, for 60 days from the date your loan servicing transfers, your new servicer cannot charge you a late fee or treat the payment as late if you sent it to your previous servicer on time or within the applicable grace period."

Quote from @Natalia Perlova: Hi there BP community, looking for your advice on the following please: i inherited a section 8 tenant who pays way below market, acts shady, had an issue with the leaky toilet for years, which damaged the floor and cost me $$$ to fix.

If they pay the new amount on time no problem.

Hi Andrea, my wife and I own a Short Term Rental in West Michigan so I would be happy to answer any questions you have on how to analyze the property, what you should look for in a property and what questions to ask the county. 

If your properties are generating solid cash flow or have appreciated significantly, you might be following a “smart leverage” strategy, à la Grant Cardone.
