Hi Mike,As a foreigner have you been able to get any financing for your properties and also do you buy in LLC or your own name?

The Japanese love tons of paperwork and to do things by the book down to the dot, so it's very troublesome for foreigners like us to get through the paper hurdle.

(but having said that, what if there's a lot of foreign money chasing real estate in LA - won't that push price up?)

Thanks AnnetteDo you know the rules regards foreigners investing in property America?

We buy distressed property, rehab, hold some and sell the rest.My biggest tip for foreign buyers is to make sure that they have people on the ground that have their interest at heart and not to invest no matter how long it takes to establish the right contacts.Also not to buy hoping the property will go up in value.

Hey EveryoneI was wondering if there are any foreigners investing in USA using Subject to existing mortgage, or anyone has any tips if this is something foreigners(Canadians) can do without triggering do on sale clause.Thank you in advance

The only way out of the hole we've dug ourselves into is to start working again...........not just trading paper back and forth and patting ourselves on the back about how smart we are to have those dumb foreigners making our stuff.

They have provided details of current tenancy in the foreign country as well as pay stubs from their international employer.

I believe the reason being is it's not only a trust factor, but the complexities of Canadians buying foreign real estate wrt taxes and liability issues keep many from delving into it.  

Renting is more expensive than buying in our market, so it’s a great place for landlords.I have excellent references from foreign investors.
