I have another question...is there a standard discount rate for senior citizen property taxes?  

Thanks to everybody for your keen answers.I am a french citizen living in France and paying my taxes in France.

I see it more with senior citizens.  

I'm sure the county, road & bridge, nav and port, drainage district, water control, city and ISD all nominate people who have the average citizen's best interests at heart : /.They need to cap the rate increase to .10 or .20 per 100 every 3/4 years (freeze it in between).  

Hello my fellow financiers:)I really want to know how I can get a conventional loan if I'm not us citizen.Help to friend in trouble ;)Harel

I liked Peaks model and program so well I became their competition I have done over 750 of these non recourse foreigner loans... but they are not priced like US citizen loans.. they are quasi hard money and for sure we red line and for sure we take a hard look at value...

My experience in 2018 was that either HSBC or smaller local banks (First Citizen etc) would be willing to help, larger banks (JPM, Citi, BoA) were not interested.

I am an Australian citizen and US resident living in New Jersey. 

My mother, who is not a US Citizen & lives in the Philippines, has expressed interest in purchasing an investment property in the US.

However, the E-2 is for citizens of treaty countries (like Turkey) to be ACTIVELY involved in the management of the company ("develop and direct").
