@Dustin RuffI fundamentally do not believe it is the responsibility of private citizens to sacrifice income for the “benefit” of others.

There are plenty of degrees out there that are useful in producing thoughtful citizens, but they don't do much beyond that, and therefore, the applicable career path for that skillset may legitimately be McDonald's.

We are in the middle of our 1st/2nd deal right now and thought we would open ourselves up to questions and comments while we are in the thick of things and can give some specifics regarding FHA/duplex purchase and we are both self employed at 30/35.We were living in Germany (I am a German citizen, my wife is American) prior to making the move back to Cleveland in 2013.

I was wondering if a foreign person (non US citizen or resident) can have access to all the loan options?

I plan on coming over in the next 6 months or so and talking to as many people as I can.Obviously, not being a US citizen makes getting a loan extremely difficult so I will be looking to pay cash.

I went and walked around there a couple months back and there are some very interesting signs of growth.Boyle Heights has had some issues gentrifying, because anytime people come in and open these new-age millennial shops, the citizens react defiantly, sometimes even violently.

heynot sure if this is the correct sub-forum but i'l give it a go. planning on buying a property, long term rental, all cash. now, say i have around 500$ coming in to my account every month (this is in theory, after all expenses are paid and taking into account vacancy, small repairs, capex etc'). current plan is buy a property every once a while (at least every 2 years, could be less once mortgages will be an option for me, non us citizen starting to invest here. talking about properties in the range of 60-80k). letting the money sit in the account until i buy my next property does not seem optimal to me, but on the other hand investing it in the stock market or something like that does not sound good either because i will need that money in a short period. perhaps i'm overthinking it but i'm trying to see i'm leaving any money on the floor so to speak :)what do people around here do? 

., Citizen insurance too, are the two that I know of.

They should also have employment that can be verified.Just remember they are not citizens of the country.

This might be the “sensitive” verbiage as there is a such a focus in this country right now on who’s a citizen and who isn’t ???
