For my tenant the foreclosing bank actually rented a 2 bedroom house to a registered child sex offender and his criminal unnamed 'friend' for $300 a month total and it included water, gas, electricity, sewer and trash!

Also consider paying for their move, for the cost of a U-Haul you can relieve a lot of animosity and make it less likely they will damage/ steal stuff on the way out.

Hi Syed, it is a good idea to proceed with the full spectrum of screening (an option that lets you pull not only their credit score, but also a full breakdown of their credit history, and also includes a nationwide criminal background check, sex offender registry list, and eviction history check). 

Here's what we've thought of doing (not real estate related though): Raising small-medium livestock, farming herbs and veggies, building a grow house to farm year round, growing microgreens (currently testing), raising chickens (currently doing), starting a u-pick farm (currently considering), building the property out for farm/homestead tours (this is coordinated year round by our county)...Obviously none of these are real estate related, but just ways we though to utilize the land.

I am sure full price will not get you the house.There are 123 sex offenders, moderate crime(above average), poor rating schools.

As you are a dual citizen, you'll need to include the sale on both your AU and US tax returns and follow the relevant rules by country on whether you get a main residence exemption. 

There is another fairly large segment of young parents with busy schedules who want an au pair suite (likely not renters though).

When you’re ready to talk to a lender call Darren Au at Primary lending.

However I think my securities attorney told me that a few years back when we were dealing with a lot of UK and AU investors.

Call Darren Au at Primary lending on Oahu.
