While I could write a whole dissertation as to way, I have no appetite to enter into a kind of discussion in which too often egos become prevalent over helping one another.What I would do if I was in your position is to ask about investing in the US to somebody who actively invests there and ask about investing overseas to somebody who actively invests in Europe and the Caribbean and then draw your own conclusions.

Does your application ask what their work position is?

I am looking for a bank to carry 75% to 80% of the purchase price in 1st position, and have the seller carry a small 5% to 15% 2nd position note on the property.

Hi Cathy,San Diego is a great market to invest in and there are tons of people doing it but yes you may have trouble seeing positive cashflow in the beginning.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

Try being positive, it puts a smile on people's faces.I just joined the Mercedes forum too.

That does not mean it is approved, but it is a positive.  

I have found that most have had a positive response to having section 8 tenants.

We get into RE to have a positive impact on our lives.  

Even with the reduced rates, my cash flow is poor for my equity position (i would still be cash flow negative at today’s rates).
