Hello, As a Canadian resident who wants to buy in the US market, what kinds of legal protections exist for foreign investors?

that was not our argument, i was saying as soon as i have contract to purchase or option to purchase i can market it as my own. so he never showed me the statuted he said existed. 

In talking with our real estate agent it was suggested that we coils raise rates after the existing tenants move out and I think it's definitely viable.

There certainly exists a risk of him still coming back at me, but as of now there has been no response. 

You then sublease to the existing and new tenants for cash flow.There are four main advantages1.

If they will be using your existing duct work it should not cost you that much but like I said I am not familiar with prices in Texas. 

Updating the existing bath.

When buying a business, either the income is on the books and the tax returns or it doesn't exist. 

You will need engineers to do drainage studies.It will cost you at least $25,000 for the subdivisionYou will have additional costs during development because you will likely lose your water tap and your wastewater connection on at least one of the lots (I'm assuming that the existing connections will no longer fall within the guidelines of the land development code)..The city will tell you that this takes 6 months.

@Micah StarbuckWhat kind of work does your existing home need that requires a general contractor?
