See: (https://www.wsj.com/articles/ftc-alleges-100-milli...)Australia--- Foreigners can buy, but have a 8% stamp duty, plus there can be annual taxes and vacancy taxes. 

I've seen some differing view on if this is legal or at minimum troublesome so would need to consult an attorney when/if we get to that point.I'm thinking on $500k home 3% Option, 2 year lease option at today's market price + say 2% annual appreciation, so $520,000. 

that's our way of giving back.. directly. so in short  the govmit  be it city county state federal / and big banks and Bond companies have to lead the charge for affordable housing.So take what I face as a small home builder building 30 or so homes annually for fair market prices.its rare that we have a parcel that all in buying the land putting in all the UTLS  paying for all the permits etc we are less than about 125k before we put one foot on the lot to go vertical.. so in our markets affordable housing is right at 350k and up to 400k. 

With the exception of variable-rate mortgage financing, Interest on residential real-estate  is compounded semi-annually.  

the annual fee and the travel and time commitment was easily 30 to 40k .. a year. 

All in cash investment was $12,900 and you're profiting $3786 before you factor in regular maintenance and repairs into the deal annually.

They expect approximately 8-9% annual returns, paid out quarterly.
