I've been a long time lurker and I've finally made an account.

Best way to handle finances: get a TD, RBC or BMO US account and link with your Canadian account.

I'd offer them the opportunity to have the lease amended to account for the pets (with pet rent) or the opportunity to break the lease and find somewhere else if they don't want to pay the rent.This gives them the choice and you a chance of not having to deal w/ turnover/eviction.

We’ll be registering our LLC in KY any day now.we already have a business account setup; and we already have several connections for contractors and realtors (for the first flip we’ll do much work ourselves, as we’re both pretty handy). 

The edgier lenders will require you to insure at least to cover the amount borrowed because... their name will be on the insurance settlement check along with yours and they will be happy to cash that check and close your loan account leaving you to figure out what to do with a heavily damaged home.Scare tactics?

Also ask to see a screenshot of their bank accounts to make sure they indeed are "loaded." 

Zelle is easy and is credited to your account immediately  

Account Closed Thanks!

I need to find a good Accountant, preferably from Indiana that understands the tax needs of property investors and hopefully has some experience with overseas investors.

Thanks Account Closed the lease option is a really interesting play and I haven't thought of that.
