I suggest you go back and re-read my original post. 

This is pushing many to look at areas that still offer strong cash flow backed by solid economic factors.I’m originally from Florida, but experienced the same issue after factoring in all the expenses.

You may be able to bypass some of those hurtles based on your country of origin/where you have friends and family but in most cases investing in the U.S. will be way easier and will yield a better ROI. 

@Scott GorhamSome of the strategies for buying a property if the original mortgage stays in the seller's name would be subject-to or a wraparound mortgage.

You can replace the switch to one that requires a key to move off and on. 3) We have a repair deductible in our lease, but even so, something originating in the common area wouldn't qualify to be passed onto the tenants.

You just said the opposite of what you originally said.

Its up to the buyers agent to submit their commission desires on the original offer . .

Should I charge her a prorated amount of the original rent or the increased month-to-month rent for January?

I had to fund well beyond the original note to get the project done.
