This would have the dual benefit of spreading your risk and getting your money out of Illinois, and giving you a tax-deductible reason to travel to (and fly out of) a hub city nearby.

Hi Zackarias,I have dual citizenship with the US and Canada.  

There is a long list of things, i agreed to take on more than 50% of these 60+ big and large issues and requested the seller fix just the big items:Both oil tanks are rusting and need to possibly be replaced, one missing a leg and sitting in cinder block.Heating unit in one apt is 21 yrs old (life is 20-25)No smoke/CO alarmsElectrical panel in one unit couldn’t be opened bc tenant said it sparked after recent stormOther electrical unit has dual wiring and a couple cloth insulated wires (really old)Deck is rotting and support beams sit on dirty not cement basingThe garage roof is at end of lifeThe garage walls are cracking & bucklingThe response from the sellers agent is that they are not selling a perfect home and will only take 1-2 things to consider from a list of 60+!

I'm aware of the income limits base on geographic area and curious if this would include a couples' dual income if they will both be on the loan.

I was going to purchase a single family home with a high voltage electric tower 30 feet from the house.  

Now it seems having a spouse from another country and having dual citizenship is a good idea!

Once you get to contract, it is a standard deal, but as the agent is likely representing both of you, it can get a bit murky.Known as a dual agency sale—while perfectly legal—it can be hard for the buyer to tell if the agent has their best interest in mind.

Also if you signed a buyers representation agreement the agent might still be entitled to payment if you went behind their back and bought the property without them, depending on your state.A tip for next time, depending on your state you might have been able to use their agent as a dual agent and they would be more motivated to get the sellers to accept.
