Hi @Sam M.there are great answers on this post but I want to clarify something.In a real estate transaction most of the items are negotiable.

My deadline to back out of my real estate transaction and get my earnest money back was Dec. 12.

So long as your original fee to open the account is booked as a personal contribution to your business and all the transactions are business-related, it seems like your best solution until you get back stateside.

Don't expect these people to have anything to do with you once the transaction is over and a lot of bitter, nasty fights along the way. 

It’s more about:Have you invested in real estate for your own account and have you been successful at it?

There are also a large number of accountants we work with who say that as long as it is done at arms length as a business like transaction then they are fine with it. 

Upon BP member recommendations, my husband got his real estate license which now helps increase our access and decrease our transaction costs.

Unfortunately due to the property values, the cash proceeds will be disproportionately impacted by transactional costs associated with the financing (doc prep, appraisal, recording etc.) which will also hurt the available proceeds compared to the same LTV financing of higher value real estate that can better absorb these transactional costs. 

You and your legal, tax and financial advisors should review this transaction in greater detail, especially the PLRs, to ensure you understand the significant risks involved and are structuring the transaction as close as possible to the PLRs to mitigate some of the risks.
