Welcome to the site Jon Saputo Wish I could give you some answers to your questions, but I myself am juststarting out in the flipping game.Same kind of vibe, got some cash, got great credit and need some excitement since I'm a little bored with the day job...haha.Hit me up any time.Would love to hear more about what you guys decide doing and where.By the way, me and my Fiancee are always looking for future JV's...so don't hesitate.Could be fun.Good luck in 2015!

I have a specialized type of work visa and do not have residency status or a green card.

I'm new to the area - just bought our first property after moving to be near my fiancee's family here.I'm considering a new business model that pares down full-service property management into just the leasing portion.  

And take care not to pick a trough as your starting point and a peak as your end point (or visa versa), as that can skew the data but less so the longer your analysis period.

I am looking into applying for an E2 visa for property development.

Kaiser being a PDX resident and doing a bunch of bizz in WA.. he make the guy on duck dynasty look like a ***** cat vis a vi I am going to do it my way

BTW, if you purchase in LLC and transfer to your name or to trust, (or visa-versa) you probably will face transfer taxes--check with your local and state transfer taxing authorities or your title company.Lastly, (not being an attorney, but dealing with them in regards to real estate for over 30 years) I can tell you from my own experience, if they cannot/will not explain the pro's and con's of the entity structure you are looking for, I'd look for another attorney. 

My fiancee and I live in an apartment that is attached to her parents house, where we pay $1400 a month, with $1000 of that going into a savings account for us to buy our first home.

As the title mentions, I'm Canadian with a work visa.

What kind of Visa they need, do they need a Visa?
