There not being in the LEGAL system like citizens is the problem.

I know many people who own real estate that are not citizens of the US.

Citizens first position HELOC CMG a financial 70% LTVEast West Bank, up to 60% LTV with "no docs” Figure 80% on a rental, not in LLC First Florida Credit Union https://firstflorida.cumortgag...

Residency StatusWhile stationed in Germany, you qualify as a resident, which makes securing a mortgage easier.Even if you're not a resident, many German banks will lend to non-German citizens who can demonstrate financial stability.2.

Along with Eritrea, the US is the sole country in the world that taxes its citizens on their worldwide income based on residency and citizenship.

That said, I do this with a a few investors on rentals since I'm a Realtor and Property Manager where I am boots on the ground for purchase, rehab and lease-up, however we had a strong professional experience/life together before partnering.Lending will also be a consideration as most lenders are hesitant to lend to non-citizens given the foreclosure challenges it can pose.

I'm currently in process of purchasing a home in Kyoto, Japan and wanted to connect with other US Citizens who also own investment properties in Japan.

Foreign nationals have the same rights to purchase real estate as German citizens, making it easy for Americans to invest in the German market without additional legal barriers.Furthermore, Germany has a transparent legal process for buying property, ensuring clarity and security throughout the transaction.

Just like I can't use a loan that most Belgium citizens would use....a "Foreign National" cannot use most loans that US citizens get here either. 

They don't have astronomical tax's on the citizens to pay for the Palm Islands.....
