My name is Matt Midyette, and I reside in Navarre, Florida.

I currently reside in Orange and have been investing in multi family for about 4 years now.

They are an elderly couple whom have resident status in another state and are looking to sell due to the failing health of the husband.

My name is Joy and I reside in Richmond, VA, with roots in Prince George's County and Howard County in Maryland.

Japanese banks will not lend to non-residents, and banks that do, only lend against newish properties in the biggest cities.

IMO, you should consider non-citizens tenants just as you would a US resident.  

I am a New York resident working in the medical field with a vision of one day being able to provide my family with more then I ever could being a real estate investor than an employee.

Is this a residence?

I live in San Diego, but I do a lot of flipping remotely (former Honolulu resident).
