They're going to welcome you to their countries with open arms someday.  

We sold all of our stuff and have been moving around the country for the last year trying to figure out where we want to live.

Just read an article about the Supreme Court rejecting 2nd lien stripping in Chapter 7 bankruptcies.

That being said, Colorado is probably my favorite state in the country

Although I'm in the market to buy an owner occupied house, SD is one of the hottest markets in the country right now.

I invest in tax deed properties in Ohio, which has a slightly unusual system in that if you 'win' a property at auction, you only have to pay a deposit on the day (usually around 10%), and the full amount is not due until the sale is confirmed by the court (ohio is a judicial state), which is usually a few weeks later.This is sort of like having a property 'under contract', when you would normally go off and try to get funding for the rehab / a buyer etc.

My experience has been that the borrow needs to find a financial institution in their home country with whom they have a relationship, if the investor does not have a green card. 

We do this all over the country as kind of a working vacation.  

I'm not able to make it as i am of country but I look forward to meeting you sometime in the near future.
