Hello from sunny Florida, I am actively engaged in a solid career as an IT support manager at a fast moving medical services company and at this point in my life its time to start thinking about the next big thing.

My risk tolerance is in the middle but more on the cautious side.I look forward to engaging with everyone on Bigger Pockets!

I am assuming you are looking for  a US bank that would fund  foreign nationals.As far as I know none will, unless the borrower has a social security number or at the least an ITIN.

Btw, that's an excellent question...and one you should probably ask your shareholders...Personally, I invest in private equity in both real estate and the technology spaces, and I'd want nothing to do with a company that felt it had no social responsibility whatsoever. 

Look forward to engaging with this community going forward.Arnold

I would read (Real estate and business books), listen to the BP podcast and the AskBP podcasts all the way through and get engaged on BP to figure out your strategy. 

Even if they are above that amount you are capped at taking only a certain amount of income with each check and if other judgment holders are garnishing at the same time then the amount you can take each time is further reduced.If their income is from retirement pension, social security, etc. those are protected funds in most cases.Bottom line is you can collect in some cases but what is your time worth??

I work and socialize in Nashville, so I'd like to buy a home in the city.

Normally we would only engage our in-house network and sell our properties that way, however it's time to embrace the future and social media to reach a bigger audience. ( I also have a few years of experience consulting Fortune 500 companies on new-media strategies, meaning I do have a bias towards social media as I've seen it transform the way marketeers reach their audience and have direct effect on the bottom line). 

I am highly interested in engaging myself in flipping and renting homes.
