Hey @David Cherkowsky, I'm not sure how much vetting you did for the tax pro you found on BP but I'd recommend getting referrals for such an important position on your financial team. 

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

Thinking about doing the same (for my solo 401K) and considering Rocket dollar, equity trust, broad financial, etc.

This deal, which combines emotional connection, market opportunity, and long-term financial growth, is a How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Does anyone know a good financial adviser/planner that I can use in the area?

Determine how much money would be needed to handle each risk, and determine if you have sufficient liquidity / cash flow to ensure you can “stay in the game”.This is of course in addition to all normal “due diligence”, financial forecasting, etc. 

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

Mostly worried that even if I find a place and the money, that I'll be making a big financial mistake and have little left to cover unexpected costs.

Every local bank does dscr loans, 20yr term, with 3 or 5 yr rate reset, you might be able to get 25yr term but all will require personal guarantee to start and 3 yr historical financials.

When you're on a temporary visa, especially without a clear path to permanent residency, the risk involved can be substantial—both financially and legally.
