Could help you save some serious $$ if buying and selling there and can also get you access to their MLS systems.

I haven't had a full-time employment for a while but I have money saved up to buy a property or two.Is anyone here living abroad also or know anyone living abroad that is not physically buying properties in the USA but abroad?

And since you are licensed, you can potentially do some sales on the side to increase income and save up for investing.

Let them know you are shopping and tell them to give you their best offer (all on the same day), and state you will go with whomever can save you the most money. 

And I provide solid returns for my private lenders in the process.

In our still relatively limited experience, seller financiers are usually looking to get a higher asking price in exchange for the favor of the private loan. 

We are able to save about $100K per year so putting down $85K is possible for us with our current situation. 

I have yet to have a guest ask for a refill or mention the quality (I tried to pick a nice-looking, not-too-expensive brand).Be careful with the scents -- I had a run of people pulling out and hiding the scents and one or two people complained that they were scent-sensitive in private notes. 

I would just make sure you're saving for reserves and expect that first year to be really about learning the house.

So the question becomes based on their individual and personal tax situation what is the estimated tax burden they'd save?
