Congrats on taking action and working towards your financial independence!

Chris I used to work for insurance companies as a sales agent and then an independent adjuster for about 10 years (combined) and 24 insurance companies (It's also where I developed my negotiating skills).   

Hate to say it, but this is probably what you want...a general warranty deed to transfer the property from them to you....then the owner finance part will be a deed of trust or some kind of note recorded against the property.This is not a transaction to do independently...or you are right, no telling what you get. 

I am an expat working in Dubai, I am eager to start and currently learning and learning more about real estate investing to be financially independent in the future.Is it possible for an expat to start investing in real estate and buy properties in their home country while working abroad?

I have experience with managing rental properties due to family business and want to make the flip to buying my own rental properties to start a passive income stream to eventually become financially independent.

(you can get the exact sizes from the city website) Independent furnace and ductwork to each suite. 

Back-to-back closings are two stand-alone closing transactions funded independently of each other.

Unless you’re independently wealthy, when you purchase real estate you’ll need a real estate loan to close the deal.

Instead of calling 3-4 BANKS for a loan I should have called 40 plus INDEPENDENT lenders, banks and added some circle of friends to pull together my best option.

I have one and want to be independent soon.
