Unless you want to live in that district, I would avoid any and all purchases in an area like that.

Purchase price: $45,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Single family buy & holdHey @Malcolm Grundy!

Should we explore that route, purchase an already built duplex in Peoria or another part of the Midwest? 

Hi @Stefano Vrolijk, my team and I help foreign citizens purchase investment properties all the time.

Have invested in ABQ with first purchase in 2020 - and that was based on my knowledge as a film/TV friendly area and affordability.

I think we will likely go with the Fannie Mae loan for purchasing.

Wondering if you have advice on me just being the bank, where I purchase a house and structure a rent to own with him and have him build up a 30% cash down payment and some equity and then me sell the house to him at a locked in price.  

In Mentor a bit nicer neighborhood I have a 57 unit and right next door to that in Willoughby another 9 unit we purchased that one 4 months ago.  

I’m looking to purchase a 10 acre parcel either in Columbus, Dahlonega, or Helen.I’d like to live on half the land, and develop the other half into five A frame luxury short term rental units. 

Just google the following: - special assessment - zombie condos - Florida condos (look for recent news)Since you are not living near the properties anyways, why not look in a landlord friendly state where the purchase prices are lower?
