My full time job is teaching American history to 8th graders.

The closest to you that I can think of is American IRA out of NC.

Majority of people in the US today dont use a formal dining room for much else than once or twice a year meals, or fancy furniture storage.Convert it into a nice office space, it will sell the house more quickly.The average american family has 2.2-2.5 kids, so its a family of 4ish.

If someone is willing to lend you money to buy a house (the american dream) with poor credit,  little or no money down, and no verification of income,  alot of people will grab at that opportunity.  

How much does your FIL know about fair housing laws, lead based paint disclosures, sex offender notification, the Americans with Disabilities Act, landlord - tenant law in the state of LA or other local ordinances?  

@Undrea KingI just funded one with Christine Godbolt of North American Title Houston.  

They also have plans to invest in real estate to help with their upcoming retirement and they are open to partner up with me.I understand the Canadian to American dollar is at .7 to 1 right now however the ROI in the US seems better and I could also leverage my parents good credit to obtain financing.I have around 5 years of industry experience as a (home owner, landlord and realtor) and would like to be hands on with the transactions, managing some of the rehabs and hands off with management.Any ideas and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Looking not only for profit or building portfolio also looking for giving back to our community, veterans who fought for our freedom and one day to open a business to help my fellow Americans for workforce.

It is somewhat difficult for Canadians but probably easier for American investors.

Many Americans could save hundreds of thousands of dollars by following index funds.
