So when i started at 18 I used to go to these appointments just like Al Pacino in the movie or Jack Lemmon sit in the houses show my maps and pictures and help them choose their lot of their dream.

Similar to a credit card.

I gave out about 2000 business cards in the first few years.

Well it is doing loans for folks who bought sight unseen and trusted contractors/turnkey providers who sell the dream but in the end do the absolute min in rehab work (even though charge for a much better job) and/or sell a buyer on a class B type neighborhood that is  reality a class D neighborhood in an already low income town.

I'm looking at Duluth MN because of a video posted on BP, but I recognize this is an opportunity most would dream of, because it's one I've often dreamed ofWell now it's in my lap, and the pressure is on.Hit me with your scenarios, what would you buy?

With your experience and possible skillset, perhaps finding a company to sponsor you for a green card may be a better option? 

If you have a credit card with a high limit or a line of credit on the existing duplex that might give you some wiggle room.

Purchase price: $395,000 Cash invested: $39,500 We were dreamed buying home in California, but we just turned our around.
