You’ll want to get loans from local banks and credit unions but you may run into issues with more limited features.

You would expect a clean title at close so if there is some issue, then either it would be resolved by the seller or the deal would fall through.

Or, in most metro areas, you can obtain the list of permits that have been issued, and see who is receiving permits. 

Like anything it has to stay balanced but small gestures go a long way in reducing turnover and mitigating many "would be" issues. 

If you're clear about your expectations then that's their issue.

Many sellers will not accept this since they are in second position, and it is very risky since if you default (higher probability for investors with no money and/or no skin in the game), they will most likely be wiped out during a foreclosure.

Title issues tend to be the fact pattern where properties are truly not financeable but that's rarely the case when you see the "cash only" adverts.Ultimately, proceeds will be transferred through a title company and its not as if the buyer is showing up with a duffel bag filled with cash.

look at Rural Japan its closer and much better tenants you can buy homes there for 40 to 60k that rent for 500 to 700. never a worry about tenant issues like your going to experience with C class US tenants.  800 sq ft is a very large home in Hong Kong if your not living with family and your maid in the same apartment What a coincidence!

There are cheaper one’s in D/F areas but I would be careful as those can create a laundry list of additional issues.

I know I know getting property won't be an issue, I've done it once and that experience helped me so much, but what if i wanted to acquire two properties this year?
