I am a US Citizen, I pay US taxes but earn Foreign Income.

Hi thereI'm a South African currently living in the Cayman Islands looking to get into the US market.As a non citizen / non resident I am struggling to obtain 30 year finance at decent rates in the US.I am investigating the possibility of using finance from back home to cover the cost of a unit, then refinancing in the US to squash the mortgage back home and effectively backdoor finance in the US.Does anyone have any experience with this, and have any comments in whether US banks may be more willing to provide refinancing to an already purchased asset held by a foreigner?

However i'm not a resident or citizen of the USA so would this be possible through setting up an LLC and still living abroad and doing any related work remotely, or would an E2 visa be the best option. or would it not be possible at all?

I am not a US citizen but I would like to invest in property there.

@Ivan Shao  No, you cannot evict a MtM tenant in NJ for no cause, the state anti eviction statute protects them, all leases renew MtM if you don't issue a longer term lease. and rent raises cannot be retroactive, no matter how long it's been.Senior Citizens: 62 years and older - PAAD Guidelines; maximum 2% or Consumer Price Index (CPI) whichever is less (Absolutely not a penny more).

The risk with cash income (in my opinion) is to make sure it comes from legitimate sources and not something illicit such as drug dealing.

My schedule is fairly open / flexible (some acting and restaurant work part time).Wife works full time.Have about 90K that we'd like to begin investing (real estate etc.)Our families live in Virginia.Wife is dual citizen in Colombia & U.S.I would like to make our money work harder and create passive income.

Senior citizen homeowners may also get an additional discount not available to non-owner occupied properties.  

Also I have seen here in Oregon when out of state lenders come in with no license they end up making interest free loans as well if the borrower catch's on that they are not state licensed.. does not matter on a 1 to 4.. any loan in this state needs a license if you hold yourself out as a lender.. there is the 3 a year rule for local citizens in their IRAs that do not hold themselves out as lenders.And also not quite the same but on the same line as Treble damages.. if you cut timber off of your neighbors property in Oregon by accident yo can be sued for Triple stumpage..
