Everyone expressed good ideas and considerations...there are a variety of options...only limited by one's creative abilities.  

Huntley is 1.5 hour express train to the city, each way.

Although i found a lot of members investing from abroad, i haven't found all the answers that i'm looking for and decided to start this discussion to describe my situation and hopefully start relationships with other members who would be able to guide me and others in my venture.I am an American citizen and have been living abroad for the past seven years.

I had a private tour of First American Title's impressive facility in Santa Ana, along with a small group of Fannie Mae VIPs.

I get that I don't always express myself clearly, can't expect just anyone to understand, and don't trouble myself with those who don't.

I took my classes online through Real Estate Express.

After I separate from the Air Force I would like to become even more active in real estate investment, maybe even start a real business...Now, having said all of that, I would like to thank you for reading and express my pleasure in meeting you.

Express yourself in how you stage the house.I will also echo, "create and stick to your budget".  

well a workaround could be to open a llc and then have the American llc open a business bank account

Don't you Americans have some federal 3% down payment loan available to you?
