-Interest Rate: I think they have dropped a bit in the 4.5 - 6.5% but as a foreigner buyer I wouldn't be surprised if a 1 - 1.5% is added to that number on your contract.- Which bank to go to? 

If you love it and are good don't let up on the gas.

(Creating a contract to protect the both of us if things go south) Nippon Real Estate does a lot of podcasts and provides value for foreigners wanting to invest in Japan.Properties newer than 2000 are structurally sound to last a level 6 earthquake.

It requires a solid FICO, that you get pre-approved with all current financials held in file beforehand, with the complete contract package submitted upon execution which starts the clock; insurance must be arranged within three days for lender underwriting. 

There is no deal under contract, I'm exploring options so that I'm comfortable with pursuing an offer.

Even large and small businesses with intangible residual services like TV, internet, security, pest control or the local contractor with remodels in process could fall behind on payments revenue contract. 

It's a multifamily investment partnership and we will have a separate contract dividing everything else 50/50.

I just recently went under contract on my first property.

Quote from @Adam Macias: Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it.The more people try wholesaling but then end up not having an end buyer or cancelling contracts or trying weird things like novations, the more all of real estate will be regulated and cause requirements like licensing to be able to transact more than just your personal resident purchase.Which I don't know why hasn't happened sooner.Here's all the states (in red or yellow) requiring a license to wholesale or at least have started the process:Credit: REITipsterI think licensing and regulation is a beautiful thing that should happen if you plan to be an wholesaler and do more than one deal... which is going to be the case for anyone taking this business seriously.Or even it being regulated to need a real estate agent to do more than one deal outside of buying a personal residence.I've had plenty of failed attempts with agents in pursuit of wholesale deals and I know exactly why, it's not because the agent couldn't find me deals, it's just not practical to think there's opportunity for the numbers a wholesaler needs to make a profit on top of everyone else needing to these days.Because the only sellers who truly can sell at a deep enough discount are usually those who ran out of time and just didn't do something sooner with their situation.I know many coaches and gurus will disagree with me but there’s no regulations on youtube gurus and what they teach either.If we look at the current state of the market in hot cities, the availability of online resources to the average homeowner, how many deals can you possibly believe are available at 70% of ARV?

If I see a listing come up that I want access to ASAP, their value is earned by getting me in and drafting the contract as fast as possible.
