Nicholas  Peak in KC will do foreigner loans for rentals. usually 40 to 50% down about 7.99 % and about 5 to 10 points.plus i know other local private guys that will do about the same.these are non recourse loans.. simply becasue no one can foreclose on you and get a judgement against you since your in OZ.  

This takes a LOT of my time.If I went to get a judgement against this tenant for the balance of the lease (if I could even find them to serve court papers), the judge would tell me to go pound sand, absorb it as a business expense, go re-rent the apartment, move on with my life and quit bothering him with this "nonsense."

Make your judgement based on the individual deal...same as 3 or 4 bedroom homes.

If the contractor doesn't show, you'll get a default judgment.Now getting a judgement is one thing, and enforcing it is another.

I am considering switching to Rentprep though just so I can add the judgement screening but still up in the air and shouldn't have any vacancy anytime soon.  

It rained this week and he now has to replace a lot of wood due to the damage. 

We now know that these foundations tend to seep during heavy rain.

Post covid roofers are getting $450 per square from roofing companies and the guys who used to do roofs for us won't even quote a job because all they want is insurance work.I'm in NE Ohio where we are relatively disaster free.In the last 90 days we have had two tornado events with more than 10 touch downs per event plus two big hail storms and also massive rains where streets were flooded out like Noah's Ark.I don't believe there is a profitable insurance carrier in the US at the moment so the pain will continue.

Not the neighborhood kid, not someone's friend of a relative, etc.My gardeners are at my properties 1 x week, rain or shine (doesn't rain too often in So Cal).

In addition to snow and ice, the Midwest can have lots of rain and flash flooding.
