It sounds like it wont be as hard as I thought.

Or should I think about selling it I know it wont sell for much.Ive checked all over the web, but everything is on how to buy or rehab a fixer upper that has a mortgage. if anyone knows a great forum post about this please send me a link

As you wont have a Social Security number and a Credit score in the US. 

This is a tedious process and obviously wont scale, any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you don't have any savings for your personal self or the investment, and run into some type of snag the lender/investor wont cover.

Id rather seller finance it to another investor since I wont be local. 

Most banks wont enforce this, but I have heard of it happening before.

We are working with a MLO who said we would be getting a conventional loan to start and 2 days before closing told us the house isnt livable and wont be approved for that loan "which we told him before all this but he insisted it would".

Also if the property is in poor condition agent could be assuming that no bank would offer traditional financing on the property and therefore wont consider any offers with a financing contingency.

Investors were beating first time home buyers but once U moved up to homes that make zero sense to rent NUMBERS wise that changes back to a normal market.Where I see this in the reverse in is low value real estate markets were low value to me is anything at 150k and under.. they can flip flop go either way.. and investor dollars have propped up the market by purchasing what would have been 20 to 30 years ago homes that were only sold for owner occ purposes.. you pull investors out of some markets and they would revert to the mean. and what i mean by that is prices would crash hard.. as homeowners wont buy C D areas generally becasue of crime schools etc.. those values are propped up by rents and investors paying for a given cash flow.. and out of area investors especially.. what you think works  Say 1% rule or greater an out of area person may think .05 is just great.
