Hi @Alancha Thompson - it is definitely harder to invest in the US as a non-US citizen. 

the 3 tenants banked with citizen, pnc, pescu and our bank is capital one so this makes the same day deposit amazing. we will be using them moving forward as to avoid the risk of a middle man. all 3 tenants were originally listed at processing (but not deposited) in erentpayment. we only received erentpayment notification for one of these tenants returns. so you have to have trust worthy tenants who will tell you when they get their money back. we can no longer appear to have access to our erentpayment account. when we try to log in we get the following error: Error Your previous operation did not complete and has been logged.

She should do the right thing and become a citizen when possible, but that is a different discussion. ;-) We love green card holders.

They just want to verify you are a U.S. citizen/resident.

maybe this could help https://www.quora.com/Which-Crowdfunding-websites-allow-non-accredited-investors-and-non-US-citizens-to-invest

So yes, RE investing is obviously a hot topic here and the US, compared to many other countries, is not placing many restrictions on citizens.

So this is a long process and a process you my friend are not willing to take cause you have not interest nor care about the Detroit citizens enough.  

The idea would be to buy and hold.Anyone has experience on buying real estate in France as a US citizen?

Some states require that brokers be at least 21.High School Diploma: Most states require that you have your high school diploma or equivalent.Experience: To get your broker's license you'll need to demonstrate 2-3 years of experience (in recent years) as a real estate salesperson, or show that you have the equivalent experience (such as having been a real estate attorney for a certain amount of time.)Residency: You must be a U.S. citizen.

I've done a bit of research on the legalities of owning property as a US citizen but would love BP input.
