yes project is in Canby Oregon called Ivyridgeestatescanby dot com if you want to check it out.. we got priced out of Charleston nothing was making sense vis a vi lot prices we could get. we did some new builds in northern FLA but the return was small and not worth the risk so we stopped at 4.

Hello everyone,My wife and I moved to the USA (Western Pa) at the end of last year on E2 visas (24 months automatically renewed while I work with the company).We are currently renting an apartment and we are looking to buy our primary residence by the end of the year (the lease ends October 31st).I contacted a few brokers and they all said the same:"We can't lend you money on an E2 visa because it is too short, plus you don't have 2+ years of credit history."

You can also ask the holder of the Contract for Deed to amend the Contract so that it can be assigned or transferred.

One challenge that we find as a holder of non-performing notes is it is difficult to find good, reliable, real buyers for REO.
