I own an American Family Insurance Agency in Jefferson City and have decided to finally put together a plan and start investing, as well as actually put my degree to work. 

We are dual American/Canadian citizens so we can buy in both countries and are open to investing out of state/country so although we love where our house is located we aren't even living in it and probably won't be for at least the next ten years anyway so I don't know anymore if it makes sense to hang onto it.The neighborhood is one of those cutesy ones where they've built all the homes to look like dollhouse/victorian homes, walk up brownstones with charming old english street lights etc.

I'm an American living in London and really don't want to self-manage properties and rehabs. 

Hi Sam,Absolutely,  would love to help in anyway I can. 

According to a recent article published on NYT, over 90% of Americans strongly agree that it is a civic duty to pay your maximum taxes, and many find that trying to dcrease your taxes is unethical.Personally, I want to decrease my tax burden, and pay the IRS what is legally required of me.I am new to investing, and want to understand the taxes.

@Sam BhullarGreat advice my friend.

Understand every way that a tenant can use the system to screw you.Keep in mind that BP is an American website and there are many differences in law and finances.

We had the honor here at American Real Estate Investments to be awarded the #1 Turn-Key real estate firm in 2016.

The IRS rules prohibit you from pledging your assets as security for the IRA's debt.The primary players who operate in all 50 states are North American Savings Bank and First Western Federal Savings.They may not be that interested in a property that needs significant repair, but with a low enough LTV, that may be possible.The use of non-recourse debt financing will expose your IRA to UDFI taxation on the percentage of the income that is attributed to the borrowed funds.  

I'm wary because these properties are priced lower than their competition but with 85% of the rent amount direct deposited from Uncle Sam, Ohio Branch.
