However I don't think this is likely as I'll have neither a credit score or history of income (either in the US or in the UK) and don't have enough cash to purchase somewhere outright and doubt I'd qualify for a regular residential mortgage.

I’m based in UK.

Hey @Brian O'Donnell ~ I'm currently stationed in the UK, but we have a monthly virtual European meetup.

We need more births or we need immigration...

If you weren't here legally and immigration hauled you off (or you decide to leave on your own), I would have no ability to pursue you for unpaid rent or damages.

Goals and story: My friend is a foreign national, immigration status has been approved but still waiting on green card, has social security and runs a lucrative business that mostly deals in cash.

In my area, that includes the following:Race, Color, Religion, Sex, Familial Status, National Origin, Disability, Military Status, Sexual Orientation, Age, Creed, Marital Status, Gender Identity, Source of Income, Immigration and Citizenship StatusBeing 19 y/o, the tenant is feels that this is unfair treatment based on age.

You know what I love about immigrants?

It's in the auto repair business, where I had no experience, but the owner I'm buying it from had no prior background in it either, he was Russian immigrant who started here as a taxi driver, saved up enough to open up 3 shoe stores, but sold it all when his wife was seriously injured in a robbery.One word of advice.

Investment property is not really viable in the UK due to stamp duty and other policies that kind of punish those who own multiple homes, so we're looking in the US.
