We added a hot tub to our studio thats 6 blocks back from the beach and it won't stop booking.

Since you're a citizen but you live and work abroad you'd still qualify mostly for second homes occupancy or investor non owner occupancy (primary is hard to claim if your job requires you to be physically next to the office as an example so an underwriter isnt going to readily believe you unless you can get HR to write you a letter to state you're remotely capable of earning this income/job duties anywhere).Hopefully that helps let me know if you have further questions into mortgage planning.

Letters are a good start.

They will then send a letter stating what terms they are offering.

If you know who Mike Stathis is, he wrote a letter to the SEC warning of everything he saw unfolding.

I also received a letter from the county saying that my property is in violation of several health and safety codes. 

Why not, we already had everything in place, we loved the area, 3 blocks from the beach, good price etc.

The seller’s attorney sent me a threat letter before.

I eventually got her and her "boss" on the phone after my lawyer sent them a letter, and rather than address any issues, they became defensive and accepted no responsibility.

Send written letters, nice stationary, handwritten envelope, explaining why you selected his property and what your vision is for it.
