However much personal liabilities you have, the deal needs to be that much more of a screaming deal for it to work.Often times lawful immigrants have an easier time getting financing for investment properties than natural born US Citizens.

California currently has about 6M retired citizens.

You have three big strikes against you:1) You're not a US citizen, neither do you have a visa that might even begin to hint at long-term residency (like a student visa or better).

I shopped many independent agents that offered Foremost, State Farm, Hanover/Citizens, REI Guard, and Progressive.Everyone came in around $2200 for a 1,600 sf duplex built in 1922 but completely updated in 2004 and again in 2016 except for REI Guard and Progressive.

Instead of imposing restrictions upon the American citizens to "insure their safety" we should ensure their safety by taking out the basis of operations so that we can live freely without restrictions.

hey canadian investors, quick question: me and a guy i know who is a canadian citizen but not currently a resident are planning to acquire some rentals in quebec, canada, to generate some cashflow. we plan to split the down payments 50:50. however, we aren't sure what would be the best way to structure these purchases. obviously, the corporation is the closest thing to an LLC in canada, but i've been reading quite a bit, and even talked to a lawyer and accountant who manage my family's finances, and they both seem to think that it would be better to start off purchasing as an individual, my friend would deposit an interest free loan into a joint account, and make the purchase from there.this seems to go against pretty much everything i've read with regards to structuring, i know there are some advantages to purchasing as individuals, but most seem to recommend purchasing in the name of a company. do any canadians have any insight into this question, especially with regards to my unique situation (2 people, both citizens of canada, but only one a resident, splitting down payments on rentals)?

What would it take to push citizens over the edge?

That's like saying that everyone who drinks Busch Light wears a wife beater and drives a truck with a gun rack in the rear windo...wait...nevermind, bad example.In addition, I would be willing to wager that those fine citizens you witnessed this afternoon were not peddling dime bags of grass.

US citizens have to file their taxes in the US no matter what, but from my understanding you can write off up to $90k/year ($180k if married) in foreign earned income.

If you are a resident and or citizen with Italian income, the big four Italian banks offer LTV at 70% to 80%
