For example, I'm working with a guy who is both a Canadian and Jamaican citizen.  

Put some of the onus on the Big boy valued at $20 Billion dollar store  not the small people guy trying to make a few dollars of side income.Agencies go after easy target - they can’t afford the Airbnb leagal batte .When  small government bodies are lurking in the bushes with binoculars that’s just messed up for any US citizen..

You can see zoning that way as well as "citizens service requests," which give you an idea of if properties are being cared for.

I have some say its $50,000; others say $100,000.I am not a US citizen but my husband is a US citizen and we live together abroad. 

It's a turnkey property, which I would like to get away from soon, but the company was great for the hand holding that turned out to be very valuable, as a Canadian citizen living in Canada.

Are you also a U.S citizen?

@Ahmad Alsarawi its worth consulting a U.S. tax accountant, and a lawyer, who are familiar with supporting non-U.S. citizens with U.S. real estate transactions. 

I'm a US citizen living overseas, currently in the UK.

I am a Canadian citizen who has separated his ties to Canada for tax purposes therefore not able to get financing in Canada either without possibly being deemed a resident of Canada.What I am wondering, once I buy a property with cash in a state, can I later be able to take equity out of the property to purchase another property through a US financial institution or would they likely not allow because I am not a US Citizen or resident?

Also, renters(unfortunately) can be looked down upon and treated like second class citizens.
