As far as good/bad neighborhoods I would connect with someone in the area who knows it better than I.

I would love to connect with you and bounce ideas off of each other if you are open to it.

I would connect with a local realtor to get some opinions 

Feel free to reach out to connect or jump on a call.

Is there part of this forum I'm missing or can someone point me to some good resources about general info (best way to find property, are some countries better than others for US citizens to buy, etc.).  

Real estate (especially multifamily) is about connections.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to connect with anyone who has done these types of loans (Assumable Loans).

I kept meaning to buy for a few years, but I’ve been simply overloaded with a startup.My current country prevents me from purchasing property (non-citizen), and doesn’t offer fixed rate mortgages - the floating rate is high rate at 7%, and has been about this the last 20 years.

@Emre Dura you may want to connect with @Drew Sygit to discuss this in further detail after reading below...All foreign investors owning U.S. rental property are responsible for paying taxes on any and all rental income they earn in the U.S. regardless of any tax treaties that may exist.Since some of the regulations and requirements can be confusing, Logical Property Management (LPM) has created this document to summarize the options for a foreign investor.
