So wondering whether there is a Visa for Canadians investing in US. 

@Fang Li  When you say the "seller who deals in off-market properties" I immediately question whether the seller is a wholesaler and not the deed holder.

They could be here legally (visa, whatever) and waiting for their green card.

The lady refused to talk specifics [because I am not the mortgage holder] but she said that the property has 300,000 in mortgages.

The early holders, who got educated, believed, and remained a strong hands through the volatility, will benefit massively. 

This is why agency loans have more restrictive yield maintenance, and defeasance prepayment penalties (they don't want you to immediately jump ship, and leave the mortgage bond holders handing).

A “sort of” competitor of mine who ran a small private lending fund was always operating in a fiduciary way vis a vi his investor’s capital.

Thus, leaving $60,000 available for the note holder to claim.I did not sell the note to Ben (who offered me $30k for it which again another red flag).
