I am a US Citizen, I pay US taxes but earn Foreign Income.

Hi thereI'm a South African currently living in the Cayman Islands looking to get into the US market.As a non citizen / non resident I am struggling to obtain 30 year finance at decent rates in the US.I am investigating the possibility of using finance from back home to cover the cost of a unit, then refinancing in the US to squash the mortgage back home and effectively backdoor finance in the US.Does anyone have any experience with this, and have any comments in whether US banks may be more willing to provide refinancing to an already purchased asset held by a foreigner?

But there seem to be a couple of hurdles for foreign investors.

Any American real estate investors here with experience investing in foreign markets (especially Europe) who would like to share their story?

hi @Oz Radianosend me your questions and I will do my best to answer, I have my tax certificate from the IRS and also I am well experienced dealing with foreign investors...

I currently have $120-150k which I would like to divide into 4 properties (30-40k as downpayment on 100-120k homes) that will generate a cash flow of $400 monthly.What are my options as a foreigner? 

Hi,I am a Canadian investor and the big banks dont share too much love for foreign investors.

Eric James worse than that, with some of these foreign turnkey assets you can find out you don’t even have first position on your lien against the title

I've looked online at foreign distributors but don't want the hassle.

Good morning,Does someone know if a foreign investor does a Fix and Flip in the usa also pays Self emplyment tax ?
