Hey, landlord took down the ivy, power sprayed the house and vowed to get better non criminal tenants.

There are a couple lenders that I know of that entertain working with foreign nationals or non perminant residents on loans like that.I'd love to hear about the investments you've done in France.

Earnest money in current contract law is used for a non-judicial remedy for breach of contract.

I have held the property at times in order to qualify for long term capital gains treatment, that would be hard to do if I was paying hard money rates.

I am looking to buy investment properties in WNY and finding it hard as a non resident alien to source a mortgage for several reasons:1 The amount I want to borrow at any one time is only around $30K-$50K - ie to a lender, not really enough to justify the extra exposure to a foreigner.2.

Just selling...but now it is gravitating to much heavier things....I gotta tell you though..Buyers are the easy part, finding the lists and non performing notes......I dunno a little disappointing.

Keep in mind that there are 1000s of properties out there and often each investor (Realtor and non-Realtor) are on different investing time tables.I would absolutely work with a guy that would buy the building himself as this tells me he really thinks it is a good buy.

Under present rapid acquisitions rules, new real estate investors (non-seasoned) may acquire two non-owner occupied (investment properties for each of the first two years using financing from one lender.

I am currently working with sellers of quality (non-rehab, non-forclosure) homes w/ tenants and/or tenant ready...

I don't wanna be locked into using one company for the rest of my life.I have never had that limit placed on my non self directing IRA.
