I have been informed that as a non US resident, I am not able to obtain conventional finance.

The property management company does not want to obtain another estimate (this is a good PM, and they advised me they found this vendor reasonable and with good results of his work).The property is a 1150 sq ft single family house in Fort Worth, TXThanks!

We obtain the oil delivery service and put the tenants on a monthly budget bill plan.

Flood plain experience.....LOL, yes....You need to put in the remarks section of the listing that the city has done the work and that IAW the city the issue has been taken care of but it will take time to be reflected on FEMA maps.Another issue will be the lender when your buyer obtains financing, although some do not reuire insurance in the 100 year guess.

If you feel the value substatiated by the muncipality is not what a willing and able buyer would pay, you would need to argue your case to obtain the value you desire.

If you find the right multi-fam project, you may even be able to obtain a construction loan that won't focus much on your own bad credit, rather the projec itself.

Any homeowner can add on to their house and many do so without obtaining a permit.

Would someone in my situation be able to obtain financing?

You obtain some sort of a work visa and must report regularly.

Based on your history of following though on things in your life will this goal be obtainable or is it just another dream?
