I've tried to find this answer on BP and through searching Google, but have not been able to get the specific question answered.

I want to get started in Real Estate Investing, I have a paid off home in Arizona. looking to refinance and do the whole BRRRR Strategy BUT the problem is that i am a foreign national and refinancing my home is nearly impossible I've called close to 20 banks and private lenders and most of them dont even deal with foreign nationals and the ones that do make it nearly impossible to invest with the high points closing costs and rates. what i was thinking of doing is adding a U.S. citizen to the tiltle of my home and having a Co- Ownership Agreement in place in order to refinance thru them and gt the best rates most money and lowest closing costs

Through a Facebook ad (hey they work!)

Would adding his name to the ownership of the property when acquired work? 

I highly recommend googling property management within 10 miles of whatever deal your considering and filtering out from there based on reviews online and from speaking to people over the phone (reach out to experienced realtors in the area).  

Calculating rehab costs really comes down to knowing the market, what level of rehab will be done, what type of amenities and fixtures need to be added and updated. 

I always put the following in my rental ads to avoid people wasting my time. 

Do the $19,000 fix up cost to get the relinquished property for sale and the selling costs get added to the basis of the replacement property?

I just closed on the selling of my first house yesterday, here are the stats: Bought: March 30th, 2015Sold: November 14th, 2017Purchase Price: $57,500Selling Price: $77,119My Cut: $20,534.12I bought the house when I was 20, lived in it the entire time, and did nothing to it as far as adding value (example: remodeling).

To top I️t off, even if the information was accurate, homeowners would still want to use realtors to represent them because of the added comfort of having a professional with experience there to back you up and make sure you are going through the purchasing process legally and responsibly.
