I have a few questions perhaps you can shed some light.

Would anyone be willing to shed some more light on actions I should take?

However, the definition of “passive” escapes me and there seems to be no concrete definition.I do not want to risk my status or possibility of delaying my green card application.I was hoping that someone can help me shed some light on my situation and how I can proceed in the best possible manner.

Can anyone help me shed some light on the road i could possibly take to get into the realestate game.

Anybody have experienced this issue before who could shed some lights?

I've decided to take the plunge and invest in real estate, and want to do so by house hacking with a duplex.I want to purchase sometime between summer and winter of this year (I hear that the holidays are the best time to purchase), and plan going to get a few mortgage preapproval / loan amount quotes.I've got a few questions that I would love to have some light shed on:1) What are some things that I can ask / look for in order to determine some intangible things about the lending institution such as:a) Willingness to work with me in order to get my loan approved (i.e. if I'm not going to get accepted for a loan, I'd like the person to at least think if there is a way for me to get accepted)b) Closing speed (i.e. how fast can the lending institution close a deal?)

The amount of mis-listed deals I've bought is crazy, agents arent the sharpest tools in the shed and you can use that to your advantage.

Can someone shed light on this?

Lastly, I envision managing the properties myself as long as I live within a two-hour drive shed of my property; if not, then I'd think about hiring a property manager.Thanks @Shawn Ackerman, time to drive to success!!

I am just trying to shed light on what sort of consequences those things may result in so that I can be prepared.
