@Andrew R. the NRW 91-01: Withholding on Sale of Real Property by Nonresidents is a good link - I went to bookmark it and found I had already done so in 2012 :)My understanding is that it's "withholding" meaning the seller may get some or all of it back once s/he/they file a tax return in Rhode Island for that year.Also a close reading mentions a possible exemption for sellers 55+"In the event that the sale of the property by a nonresident will not be subject to tax under Sections 121 (One-Time Exclusion - Over 55 Principal Residents)... the nonresident seller must make the gain election and file the RI Form 71.3 Election even though no withholding need be made""If the property Martha was selling was her residence and if she otherwise qualified and intends to treat the sale under Section 121 of the Internal Revenue Code (one Time Exclusion Over 55 Principal Residence), she would still have to file the election form 20 days before the closing but would complete the election form and use the special types of transactions area on the back.

This is new field for me .

Until both parties have signed the offer it is not a contract and the offering party may cancel the offer at anytime before the contract is formed.

In CA my larger expense it the Fat *ss mortgage that is MONEY IN THE BANK for me. 

This is for me, a major leap of faith into a new career field.

It's hard for me to 'network' because I'm not the gregarious type, but the opportunity IS there.

So my questions are: Would an FHA loan be the best option for me?

For my mobile devices, I use many applications such as the ones listed above, plus the following: Docusign - used for paperless document/contract/tenant form signings.Apps such as PDF Expert(pdf doc modifier) , PDF Office(pdf doc creator) , PDF Converter, Spark Email, Documents(cloud doc integrator), Calendar 5, Scanner Pro, Printer Pro all created by a company by the name of Readdle.

This was a monumental project for me but very eye opening.

After my retirement I worked with a group of old friends I meet back at the bank to form a small investment group.
