Hi everyone,I am British, living in Dubai, UAE since 2014.Before moving to Dubai I was considering investing in the UK, since then, changes to the buy-to-let regulations has made UK returns far less attractive, so the UK is off my radar.Keen to connect with fellow members in a similar international situation who have bought property in the USA.Would like to hear your story about how you secured your first deal and how it went rehabbing and renting it out.Current concerns: Differential access to funding/leverage from an American.

IMO, on average, this book is popular because somehow folks have decided that a- college education is not worth it; and- real-life experience backed by a careful, conservative approach to investing (and living life in general) is too boringi.e. follow the Rich Dad example: shortcuts, leverage, gamble and hope for the best.A college education continues to be THE best investment for social and economic mobility.

To me, the stock market is a giant roulette wheel and I don't like to gamble.

That's because they gambled on continued appreciation - and WON! 

I am UK based, he is USA and our current vehicle that contains funds is in Luxembourg.We have 100,000 USD cash that we are able to put into it this year to start and a similar amount annually thereafter.I'm currently thinking we may be best to buy cash to start as I have a few concerns re: finance: - Poor personal credit within last six years - no previous RE experience - Lending would either be to a new US LLC with a foreign entity owning it or directly or the Luxembourg vehicleMy thought is after a couple of cash purchases lending would be easier.Investment wise I'm looking at getting into rentals.

@Harry Gamble - yes - I agree with you that the court would require me to foreclose on the property.  

I have even seen divorce, gambling and drug addiction destroy 20 year businesses.
