I had two real options, University of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State University.

One of the key challenges I’m facing is understanding the financing options available to someone without Canadian residency or a local credit history.From my research, it seems that a 35% down payment is often required, with interest rates around 7.5-8.5% for non-residents.

Would it be a good idea to get a real estate license and work in real estate or are there other options to get in Missouri to get real estate experience without a license? 

Another option could be a home equity line of credit (HELOC) if you have enough equity in your primary or second home.

I give them a deadline to respond, very clear terms of how we will move forward with the option they choose, and I make it clear this is my final offer.

So many better options. 

Seriously, looking back, my life is full of numerous examples of things that were labeled as impossible, or impractical, but I somehow managed to pull them off.

Two best options are house hack or sell and acquire a 1031 property.

(This option would would not carry any debt, all debt would be paid in cash)Or keep our current house, rent it out, and cash flow NET monthly about $1,500?

I was originally drawn to it because I wanted to have one place where all my tenants paid rent and where they had the option to set up auto payments.
