Hi @Chris ShonI am fellow investor/broker in Atlanta.

One broker told me I need a residency visa (but couldn’t actually tell me which visa to get), another said I couldn’t get a mortgage at all (since I don’t live in the U.S.).

Two years ago I decided (out of client necessity) to reapply for my NMLS mortgage broker license to provide more robust mortgage options and services to my clientele.

But like Patrick points out, each city has their own processes and some have point of sale violations, and Cleveland is supposed to start doing this in the fall, so the best thing you can do is to find an experienced agent / broker who can help navigate these issues with precision and ease!
