Still working have many puzzle pieces in motion and am hoping there will be some payoffs at the end of this year and going into 2018.

So I would be classed as foreign.I was hoping the banks would take my salary and broad foreign financial situation into the picture when lending ... rather than just the cash flow on the asset.

It is out of state, so she has done the leg work for us as far as checking out the house, taking pictures, etc.

@Rousner Ermonfils,Before investing in real estate stocks or real estate trust funds, have a clear picture of what you want the investment to achieve (appreciation, cash flow, and/or both).  

I have bid on and bought a few houses sight unseen because I was away just by a few internet pictures and him going from room to room with me on the other end of the phone. 

I'm going to keep my personal things pretty limited... record player, clothes, pictures....

Account ClosedYou need to consult an accountant who can examine your complete picture and advise you accordingly.  

However, he did provide pictures to the PM, and if accurate, the work actually looks quite well done.  

Because sometimes a higher rate could be a lower cost of capital.Which of these is cheaper: 12% and 2 points or 16.99% and 0 points.Answer: It depends.In the picture above, the curved grey line represents your cost of borrowing at a given time at 12% and 2 points.

This is not going to break the bank if the overall picture is right.And if you intend to "flip", meaning fairly soon refinance anyway due to the fact that the place is either sold and something else is bought or you do a refinance or whatnot then the point about the interest rate becomes moot as you will have to deal with a changed environment anyway.
