* Free money is always awesome; take it when you can get it* However also read the fine print; besides the 5 year thing, make sure there's not also a clause saying you can't rent it outFree government money is great, but just read the docs.

hello troy and all BP family. i think i have some answers for you. first let me start by painting a scenario for you. imagine you are a banker. you have just aqquirred several houses thru repossession. all range in dollars owed to your bank from $30,000 to $300,000. suddenly, the federal government has decided that the flood of foreclosures hitting the market is killing the market and they decide to put a restriction on how many any bank can put back out on the market in any given year. so, you get instructions that, of the 100 houses you have for market, you can list only 25 this year. you have 50 houses that are below the $50k level, and 50 that rise above and way above the $50k level. which ones are you going to market???

I figure I could do an excel worksheet but thought maybe a software program would be more efficient. 

Yes I have worked with foreign nationals.The problem is often currency conversion, extra with holding of taxes, financing programs they do not find appealing etc.Mid deal it falls apart.
