I've also been looking at international investment properties in SE Asia and would love to talk with anyone who has any type of experience with this.

My wife and I are currently closing on a fix and flip in SE Portland with a couple of partners, which is pretty exciting with it being our first REI other in our primary home. 

I know I can read the PPM per-se but wants to understand if you need to pay an additional fee on yearly basis ?

If you are wanting a Bank Statement loan to purchase a property (which is what S/E borrowers use), then you need to have 680+ credit score and at the very least 15% down payment. 

(Previous appraisal attached) It appears incorrect that our home would depreciate in value $12,000 in an area that has seen significant appreciation (18%) over the last year. http://projects.oregonlive.com/maps/housing/hot-neighborhoodshttp://www.oregonlive.com/front-porch/index.ssf/2016/04/looking_for_a_home_in_the_red-.htmlhttp://www.pdxblog.com/neighborhoods/se-pdx/creston-kenilworth/One of the items that is not reflected in the appraisal is the fact that our house is on the west side of 52nd avenue.

We're located in SE Wisconsin and the house is a up/down duplex about 2900 sq ft.  

You can also go S/SE, but just make sure you do your due diligence on the neighborhood because that area is very hyperlocal when it comes to crime.

I was hoping these manufacturing companies would set up shop where land/property taxes are cheaper and right now seems SE Austin in the place, but nonetheless overall good news for Austin south corridor.
