If they don't want to, when do they plan on selling-why they choose to sell without an agent (if FSBO lead)-why they think their home didn't sell (expired lead)-* anything else that would help you understand the lead's situation.Once you've gathered this information, you'll know more about that lead than most agents/investors that are calling them.

Ideally have 3-6 months expenses saved up and liquid. 

They will look at the deal, your credit score and liquid assets.

Since the Brazilian housing market has been doing very badly in recent years and the liquidity in the market is almost non-existent, I would like to invest in a property in Brazil.

If you keep 1 account per rental and set up tracking categories to match Schedule E for your rental you can categorize them in the bank account and print out monthly summaries, year end summary. 

Rates and terms vary widely based on credit score, quality of the property, appraisals, liquid cash, etc.

This seems like a good opportunity to turn things around, or liquidate before losing them. 

I only do this is if there is a lease violation or their lifestyle is going to cause damage to the home, attract pests, or interfere with a neighbor's right to quiet enjoyment.I also inspect 30 - 60 days prior to a lease expiration.

Hi @Norma E.

Most importantly, your capital remains liquid so you can keep searching and finance another property shortly after.
