A migrant I guess you'd say.

But the assumption that RE will "start going back up" vis-a-vis the recent bubble is misguided at best.

Mastercard/Visa/Amer Exp almost always sides with the consumer over the vender.

I mean even if you need to apply for a visa you need to apply your resume also or in other cases, you won't get the visa.

I have contacted a few lenders. two said he needs a resident alien card or work visa and the other arent currently financing foreign investors on non owner occupied loans.

Little inventory in the pipeline spells a few more good years vis a vis increases.

Two Senators have proposed a bill where foreigners can buy a Visa if they buy $500k worth of real estate.One significant detail to this proposal is that the individual can break up the $500k.

I paid cash for my first property recently and financed the rehab on Visa and an unsecured LOC, but might do something similar to what you are doing here on the next deal just to get into property number 2 a little quicker.

If it's over $1M, you may want to look the EB-5 visa...

Hopefully I'll end up giving them a good reference as tenants, and visa versa.
