I'm sure OK has its share of dumps but you really have to drive around FL to truly appreciate how much low-cost housing there is.  

You cannot deduct your rehab costs until the property is in service. 

This could easily cost you $10’s of thousands if you plan to stay in the home 5+ years when you return. 

In my opinion, the US and the UAE have agreements to avoid double taxation, so there should not be any additional costs in Dubai.

Though, that would probably be a similar cost to the above ground pool. 

You can buy a set of five for under $300, subscription for the recording software is $10 a month, then the cost of WiFi or hotspot.If you've already had a couple break-ins, you are obviously in a high-crime area.

The mistake could be costly.

Because of cost, duplexes are are a better choice and compete well with SFH and or apartments. 4.  

It likely is out of date as to cost as this info is quite old (my guess is 5 years but it could be longer):- Rent Recovery Service: offers flat fee service starting at $20. 3 letters start at $30.

Leaving out auction and foreclosure costs for a second, when you write that check for $220k the trustee is going to pay BigBadBank the $175k they are owed first, then he's going to pay LittleBadBank the remaining $45k, and you will get a clean title as the process is going to wipe the slate clean.
