Living and working overseas can present unique challenges when it comes to securing financing, but there are definitely loan options designed for situations like yours.

A single member LLC is by definition a disregarded entity by the IRS.

Yes it's definitely legal, and I've sold a few this way.

Sometimes they’ll let you add meters and mailboxes without rezoning, but that depends on local rules, so definitely ask.For the septic, upgrading is probably a must.

The definition of “livable” or “finished” space can be surprisingly specific.In many markets, including here in Arizona, appraisers and agents generally want the space to be finished in a manner consistant with the rest of the home and serviced by a more permanent heating and cooling source.

@Tyler Jahnke definitely keep us updated!

So I would definitely not write that area off.
