@Salome Ditmars Although it is great to get referrals this is also something you should take upon yourself to get to know the sponsor and establish a relationship with them since this is your hard earned money you are looking invest with them. 

I think anything held over ten years for the most part, if bought even decently, should turn around, but too few investors are an top of their declining investments. 29 separate doors is a lot to manage.

@Otis Clayton To partner in real estate effectively, establish a clear structure like an LLC for liability protection or a Joint Venture for single projects.

Note the below bill was proposed, establishing a 5-year moratorium on condo conversions in high population/population density counties (basically Hudson County only).

Hi Shakti, As a lender we do work with US-visa holders as long as they have an established credit score in the US.

Additionally:Is there a specific state where it makes more sense to establish the holding company (now that anonymity in states like WY or DE isn’t the focus)?

What makes it tough in the beginning is your rental income is not established so you need to be able to handle the debt not using rental income. 

The only exceptions I can think of are a lack of experience frustrating your financing process or where the GC has such a well established brand that a buyer will pay a premium for a home built or renovated by that particular contractor.

I had tried to establish direct communication with jesse, but the GC did not want me talking to him.

Specifically, some of the deals I'm considering come from established turnkey companies (very reputable in these forums) that have been around for a long time and they claim very long tenancy terms.
