Hi I am from Toronto, Canada and planning to buy investment property in the USA.

My plan is to sell my primary home in New York and purchase a house to live in South Carolina.

If the same client merely invested with a gains plan, or 25% return, they’d end three years with only $43,500, which is $130,500 less than flipping!

Our rates are generally closer to 10% depending on the plan you pick (you can search us and see our rates on our website - not trying to self promote) but that is for full service property management. 

Renovations that truly add value-like modern kitchens, open floor plans, and energy-efficient upgrades are making the difference in selling faster and at top dollar.Financing & Interest Rates: The higher cost of borrowing has made tight budgeting more important than ever.

My plan is to maintain the status quo and benefit from annual rent increases and equity gain as the tenants' rent covers the mortgage.

You can withdraw from your 401k starting in the year you turn 55 if you qualify.I am following a plan similar to yours.

Even if the rental has a decent cash flow with additional flood insurance, we're still not sure we want to take on that risk as we are out-of-state investors (planning to move back to KY in the future, but not now) and we don't like that it will potentially bring down the perceived value when we try to sell it in the future.The seller has never lived there and has not provided any information on if it has flooded before or not. 

I am looking for recommendations for best financing options.The owner is considering financing it, but until they agree, I am planning as if they will not do so.The local credit union I use, who is very investor friendly, is unable to lend on properties larger than 4 units right now. 

Make sure your wife agrees with this plan, though.
