Hey , i am new to the bigger pocket forums , we are thinking of trying to get away from Canada and i was wondering about getting work with a builder /contractor under an E-2 or similar visa .

Some ideas I've considered:Equity Buyout: Having another investor or my partner buy out my 40% equity.Seller Financing: Selling my equity and offering seller financing to the buyer.Selling the Property: Liquidating the property entirely and splitting the proceeds.Does anyone have experience with situations like this?

Proof of funds would be a bank statement or some other document indicating the liquidity you have.

This one was strange because I ended up splitting the companies and partners involved in the deal so we liquidated halfway through the project.

I would keep as much liquid as possible and essentially get you to 20% equity or more by renovating the property.
