Hi @Thai Foo  I am not in the loan business, but I think that was under the original program.  

I have a friend who owns several SFH in Japan, but you don't "really" own them unless you own the land - which is another can of worms.I have several colleagues who are married to Thai women and they seem to have good luck buying personal residences.  

@Thai Foo Thanks for the lead - with a url like that it seems to be just what I'm looking for.  

They've dubbed it House Hacking here on BP, and it provides an incredibly powerful strategy, due to the low down payment requirements as an owner occupied property.

The property is a quad, which is exactly what I have been looking for, but the neighbors have lovely dubbed it "meth mansion". 

The second dome, dubbed “The Great Room,” is smaller at 28 feet in diameter but is completely open with no loft.

That's hardly similar to Austin's situation.Nicaragua has been dubbed the next Costa Rica by many.

I mention this because Robert Redford’s Utah retreat — a 30-acre spread dubbed Horse Whisper Ranch after his 1998 western film “The Horse Whisperer” — just came on the market for $4.9 million.
