However, alot depends on your PM contract. 

It depends on your tax situation, and here's a detailed explanation:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51-tax-legal-issues-con... 

@Carlos PtriawanYeah, guess it also depends given that some states don't allow dual agency. 

So yes it is important to get a contractor on board who can give you estimates quickly it just depends on when in the process you want to get him involved.

Depends.

I would say 75% would be fair but maybe even 80% depending on the answers above

If you have paid the overseas lender 5% and didn´t withhold anything, the IRS will still want that 30% when tax returns are being filed.As long as they are in a country with a double taxation agreement with the US, then they should not have to pay the same taxes twice, but again, it depends on their location and personal situation and both borrower and lender should seek professional confirmation.

However, how well a property cashflows or covers your mortgage greatly depends on the are and type of property you buy.

I think many people have said something similar, but it really does depend on your situation.

NathanHey Nathan,A lot of the private/Hard money lenders that I work with do not require that, so depending on your strategy it shouldn't be an issue.That sounds like great idea though, it could set you up nicely to hopefully save up for a good primary residence.Would love to connect and talk through the strategies financially if you are interested!
