Just because it's a U.S. territory doesn't mean that they aren't U.S. citizens and that someone with a notary license there, wouldn't be licensed in a similar way to someone in Texas, and that their notary seal would be less valued or recognized.

My pros on this property: I personally like the home (as I should since this will at least temporarily be my primary residence), It offers me some personal advantages as far as location to various amenities (including my job), I'm in a market (Atlanta) that is growing in value very rapidly, so I believe its somewhat safe to say I shouldn't anticipate losing money (although I recognize a market crash can happen anywhere), did I mention ridiculously good location?

We don't have to conform to rigid LTV or coverage metrics, though I recognize that some lenders do.We loan at a safe enough LTV that we don't worry about or expect, additional skin in the game.

Ideally yes, but I also recognize the need for preserving long term rental options in some localities.  

I actually have a genuine interest in real estate, I'm constantly checking the market just for fun, and was heavily involved in real estate club in college.

I'm looking for an investor friendly real estate agent and/or a mentor to help me find deals, analyze deals, and help me recognize things I might be overlooking.  

I really do genuinely appreciate it.Hope you all have a great day, and I can't wait to get some responses and start a useful discussion.Many thanks,AdiosDominic Balconi

In that case, you will be able to recognize a good deal immediately.

Kudos on recognizing that fact. 

It is widely recognized among virtually all industries.
