I'm writing a series of articles for UK citizens wanting to invest in US real estate.

Being a dual citizen with Italy has given me lots of opportunities to invest in Italy, especially in the Alps, of which I have engaged in none.

You're always a licensee but you can always deal  for yourself just as any citizen can, legally and ethically.FYI, last year the FTC broadened their reach into real estate transactions.

I look forward to anybody's response If you're a Canadian citizen getting a mortgage might be a problem.

I'm a not a US citizen, and if I one day leave the US, the income of my US rental (which I hold in my name) will be taxed at a withholding rate of 30%.

I won't say it's impossible (just because I live on East Coast around DC, where house prices are irrationally over-inflated and where wages of the majority of people are less than one eighth of the median house price, I won't say that the entire US is the same), but you will have to do some leg work to find it, and you would have better chances in one of the more average Citizen oriented parts of the country, such as in Mid-West, than on East/West Coast.Still, your chances to make things work are a lot higher than mine, a home owner with $170K in available resources (including hard money) for investment property, because: 1. you can take advantage of the First Time Home buyer options , and you can also qualify for 203K loan (FHA), these are great loan programs because you get a conventional 30 year mortgages with low down-payment and low monthly payment, and the worst thing that can happen to you is that you will end up owning your home and building an equity in the long term.

Thank you,Tom Camarda Tom,Citizens bank, Wells Fargo & MB Financial will all lend on sub 80k properties.

I am a Dutch citizen investor, so a non US resident, No SNN, no credit score, I the banks won’t lend for a FHA loans.

In most municipalities they are illegal.The city workers & or citizens are most likely going to take them down.You can also be fined.Whenever we use signs we only place signs in our own yards.

One thing you need to know is Illinois/Peoria has programs which will limit or reduce the property tax for Senior/Disable citizens.
