If you are looking to avoid cap gains on one, ok, but paying you a little more to become the bank is not whipped cream on a sundae to me, it's like one old walnut.

Should the bank ever need to foreclose on the property, they can’t sell the building without the land or the land without the building.

Your bank account will thank you!"

Most foreign buyers are high net worth individuals who want to park their money there in a safe haven and they don't need BP.No restrictions apply to American buyers in the countries they'd generally want to buy, including those mentioned by Federico and many other popular countries.When it comes to Spain specifically, some more conservative banks will ask you for a 40% downpayment (that would be the maximum) but that isn't the rule.

I used that to finance the next four before the bank cut off the HELOC at 72K.

I currently use rentredi and am disappointed in it, I want to switch to STRESSA but find they collect rents into their bank account.Has anyone used RENTREDI accounting software, they want $100.00 per month which i find exesssive.

(Banks typically want to see 1 Year+ leases).

I looked back at my tax returns when I was doing the conversions from my traditional IRA to my Roth IRA and realized I had converted up to the limit of my standard deduction allowing that amount to be tax free, but the excess above that that I converted each year was at the lowest tax bracket, so while I did convert some money tax free each of those years I DID IN FACT pay more than a few cents in taxes on the amount above the deduction.  

Do you object to giving them DMV your address Or your bank?

The more traditional way, assuming you actually have adequate equity in your rental, is to take out a HELOC on the rental.
