If you’ve yet to build up substantial credit in the U.S. you can apply for foreign national specific loans that don’t take credit history into consideration when qualifying as in some circumstances you can get better rates and terms applying as a FN when your U.S. based credit history is in it’s infancy.

It is a considerably good price considering the area, I'm just not sure on whether the rental income is worth paying for.Apart from about $10,000 it is fully rennovated and ready to be rented out within 2-3 months.Thanks for any advice!

If the consideration is a prep for going into the red, saying it's easier to pace at a loss, say rents halve, with all-cash vs financed capitol, that still isn't true because one could simply use financed capitol and do only 2, deploying $40k and reserving $60k, and those 2 WILL out-earn the all-cash 1 AND have $60k sitting sidelines which can carry for literally years of an "in the red" event to revenues. 

@Nate McCarthy the odds of disputes arising are considerable.

You will want to consult with a lawyer.In regards to your last two questions here's some background on what makes a contract valid and enforceable:Offer: A promise to do or not do something within a certain time period Acceptance: A clear and direct statement that all terms and responsibilities are accepted Consideration: A legal and adequate inducement given in exchange for the promise Capacity: The parties to the contract must have the legal capacity and competency to contract Awareness: A party must be aware of the contract Legality: The contract must be legal in the jurisdiction it will be operating in***Not legal advice*** Steps I would take: -Review contract in detail to understand each counterparties responsibilities (if you are not aware)- Email a copy of the lease to each of the tenants listed on the lease and reiterate lease expectations for termination notice, rent payment etc. - If the lease was signed via Docusign (other esign may have same ability) - you can go to the envelope, go to history and view the IP addresses for each action taken.

Does anyone take this info into consideration when looking at a rental market or is such analysis unnecessary?

For example: the multifamily sponsors will usually pay the considerable extra cost required to do a cost segregation analysis and this will increase the investor depreciation in the early years (versus an individual, direct investor who often will skip doing this because of the cost).The advantage of the passive investment is that you don't do any work.

Replacement homes will be climate hardened, smaller, functional and include consideration for the type of infrastructure, architecture and sustainable/durable materials utilized. 

In addition, modest increases that take cost of living and other indicators into consideration is a reasonable way to assure longevity among tenants.  

I think it’s a more recent consideration (maybe in the past decade or so based on my digging / anecdotal feedback) and perhaps some of you that have been in the business longer and simply renewing old policies may be getting a pass.
