now on this little post, steps 1-9 seem cut and dry, but there is alot of analysis, work, sweat, and risk involved.

Most lenders are concern about the chain of title REGARDLESS of how much you are putting down...

I guess some of my concerns occur when I see a proeprty and I say it could only be bought for x dollars and it sells for 10K more.

I have seen all cash deals up front, 10% today with 20% payments every 60 days, to 50% down and the rest the day of closing, and 25% with no payment unitl finish; so each deal is differnt and you just have to ask.Now if you can get to the developer like I do and cut out all the brokers/Realtors you will get a better deal.

In this case, obviously I'm not concerned about cash flow but again, believe that out of state is where my resources can be used most effectively and I'm confident that if I approach it properly, this too will be a successful strategy.In short, it may feel less comfortable investing far from home but as someone who has researched opportunities in many different states and dabbled a little, there is definitely potential.

I also have that concern of prices droping and there are a ton of homes on the market now.

You can cut the middleman out (Money Tree) and go directly to a mortgage broker or bank for your loan.

Balance of the payment to be made in 45 days.My concern is being able to inspect the inside of the house prior to making a bid so that I can get a better "current condition" appraisal of the house.

Investors who are new to the international preconstruction real estate market should feel concerned about who they do business with because there are many ways that scam artists can take advantage of them.
