Does anyone know if I sale an asset in the U.S., but have residency in PR do I still need to pay the taxes in the U.S.?  

Craig  , if you have money saved try a conventional loan ,20% down    or if you have equity in your house , try a cash out loan  , either way  you can have cash to get started  , then do alot of research  in your area , rents  , comps on house for sale  , contractors  , rehab costs    , good luck  ! 

But, I have experience in exterior home remodeling sales.

Hi all, can I buy a property at the tax sales, pay cash for it, then refinance it into a loan after I own it? 

Code § 10131A real estate broker within the meaning of this part is a person who, for a compensation or in expectation of a compensation, regardless of the form or time of payment, does or negotiates to do one or more of the following acts for another or others:… (b) Leases or rents or offers to lease or rent, or places for rent, or solicits listings of places for rent, or solicits for prospective tenants, or negotiates the sale, purchase, or exchanges of leases on real property, or on a business opportunity, or collects rents from real property, or improvements thereon, or from business opportunities.

These properties have been owned for many years so approx. 90% of the sales price is capital gains  - let's say four properties worth approx $1M each today.  

I already have a software development team chosen and will start production very soon.

It feels like a constant cart before the horse but I have become better at scaling over time, today own and operate 194 units mainly in the manufactured home space but we have more than a dozen single-family homes, a motel, and an apartment complex.I have myself in a CEO position but I also fill the position of sales and acquisitions.

Since 1993 (the oldest median sales price data from Pikes Peak Association of Realtors) homes have appreciated at a rate of 5.38% per year.
