Personally I refuse to deal with any of the large banks, (Wells, BofA, Chase) and prefer to deal with smaller regional banks or credit unions.

If a person is already investing in the U.S. and then invests overseas they dilute their cross leveraging potential.  

@Daniel KimBuy and hold in Columbus, OH - much higher rent to price ratio than LA I invest in Columbus RE, huge growth to come from recent additions to the tech sector (google, intel, amazon, honda, and many start ups).

,My stable consists of:1982 Mercedes-Benz 300D Turbodiesel - 27mpg regularly, few repairs, 192k miles, low insurance1998 Mercury Mountaineer, 16mpg, reliable so far. 130k miles2001 Mercedes-Benz E320 21mpg, reliable, 115k miles.My personal favorite is the 82; my costs are so low and it keeps me from speeding.

I had hoped this land could be both my personal home and an investment but after being there some time the sound pollution is too much for me.

As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio.

Wondering how quick rentals move in your personal experiences.

@Michael HerrenLooking to connect with persons in/near Savannah.

Some things to consider are job growth, population growth, and surrounding school systems.

To my understanding the VA only cares that the initial person that purchased the property had the intent to live there and make the home their primary.
