I have also filed a claim against his insurance company with hope of getting at least our monies from the contract back.    

I’m currently in the process of searching for my first property, which I hope to house hack and eventually convert into a long-term rental. 

And because I'm looking for a long term finance situation, I'm not looking for a loan that is going to have a really high interest rate, with hopes of refinancing later.

I hope you enjoy these books recommendations!

Readers should seek professional advice.

Hoping to go down one of two paths:1- Buy a condo or small single family home and build equity and create value with my maintenance/construction background.2- Find a cash provider to do this on a larger scale with a 3-5 unit building. 

I hope everyone is okay.  

Sharing this idea in case others can comment on it.Hi @Joaquin Camarasa, hope everything is fine.Investing with a vehicle like a Spanish SL (equivalent of an LLC in the US) would be interesting to research as from that moment it doesn't matter if you are a US citizen or living still in the US.

Do they use a servicing company to make the payments directly to the , or do they make payments directly to the seller and hope they pass them on to the lender?

We’re hoping to start small and are looking at markets, such as Buffalo or Rochester, NY.
