I want to pull out as much as I can so I can use the excess money pulled out for investment properties that give me cash flow on monthly basis.  

As for vehicles for investment, foreign or otherwise, it greatly depends on your appetite for risk.

Over the last year we have witnessed increased average DOM, increased inventories, very much a slowdown in sales of higher end properties, excess of class A rental units (much of which came on line in the last year or so) and more. 

That person collects the rents, pays the bills and disperses the excess as directed.

When they mess in each others' expertise, you get a food fight.Bon appetite - and great ROI for your groups!

@Jared Boundy Tax prep costs can be taken for the amount in excess of 2% of your AGI. e.g.

I used TriStar Bank in Dickson, TN for 90% LTV with 2 yrs I/O (that was 2 years ago, their appetite may have changed).You can also try Republic Bank in Nashville - they offer 90% LTV, 10yr term, 25yr am.

Seems that the amount of return for the amount of effort currently in the Denver market is excessive. 

@Raj I. in many regards you get what you pay for but at the same time, $5,500 sounds excessive.

I know loan requirements are strict, but this seems excessive.
