It is not unreasonable to ask for a signed PSA prior to requesting a tenant open his home for a third party inspection.  

Hi Shaun,The best way for foreign investors to buy in the US is through an LLC.The biggest hurdle is with the bank accounts and getting the investors accustomed to how the banks operate here.Thanks and have a great day.

I personally can relate to each investor as I have experienced all of the same growing pains and hurdles.   

If you're proposing wood frame construction with a hemp fibre sheathing the hurdles to show that it will meet that testing standard may be fairly easy since OSB is in common use so you just need to show that it can meet that same criteria.

I'm considering to invest in real estate in Kiev once the situation is cleared up there.But there are a few hurdles that I'm not sure how to master them.My situation:I made around 7 digits on the stock market and I don't have a fixed income and never had, and wont have anytime soon.

I've been doing this since 2010 and have been buying a few props every yr. I'm currently at 7 but I still feel like a beginner. Anyway after seeing how much I paid management company I decided to manage a few myself. ...

My main thought was that the property was a deal given the other hurdles this property met (i.e cap>8%, ROI>12%, DSC>1.5).

There are plenty of hurdles and risks to clear in such a partnership but if you know of them please help me list them.   

My husband is reluctant, but we looked at a duplex today that he's jazzed about,  which would be the first hurdle to buying something. 

If all those questions are answered yes your only hurdle will be the low loan amount.
