I'm a US citizen, but I've lived 20 years in other countries.

Hi all,I was wondering how I could get a US mortgage on a US property without being a US citizen or living there.

It was dirt cheap obviously between 2009-2012/2013We are probably the luckiest in the world for us (as a US citizen) to be able to tie upto 10 (if you are single) or 20 (if married) fixed rate 30yr fixed fannie/freddie mortgages @5.5-6% with 15-20% (sfr) or 25% down (mf).

I'm a US citizen, but I've lived for 20 years in other countries.

I’ve read some good things about Citizens Trust Bank, but don’t have any experience with them.

I'd recommend trying 3 or 4 credit unions (Palmetto Citizens, AllSouth, etc) and asking them.

Florida's subsidized insurance provider, Citizen's Property Insurance, is the provider for sinkhole properties - and you'll be limited to that source; the cost will be higher. 

Once you know that goal then it is easy to find the right deal based on what the numbers are telling you.Going to your original question, I would say you need a good realtor that is investor mindedA good CPA that can work with non-resident owners for IRS tax implicationsI am assuming if you are not a US citizen then you will not be able to get a loan and will have to pay cash so no need for a mortgage lenderI would say lastly a good property manager that is aligned with your goals and understands your strategy.

You mentioned Single Member LLC is that a better option or should I create it with my wife.Both my wife and I live and work in Kuwait and are Non-US citizens.

Hi, I recall listening to a Podcast recently where Brandon and David interviewed a Turnkey provider who offered the complete package of passive investing.I think there was also something where he would allow you to back out and refund you $1000 if you were not entirely happy or something like that.I’m a non-US citizen looking to invest and Turnkey seems to be the safest most logical option and I’m trying to find the safest company to go with.Would appreciate it if someone could please direct me to either that podcast or a list of the best Turnkey companies.
