The foreign company needs to have a EIN or a representative in the US with an TIN so you can look up its credit worthiness.

So, I think I am set there.As for including a kitchennette in the 150’—you mentioned that could “possibly” be allowed if I “placed a door there.”  

Here's my #1 dissatisfier in dealing with agents: Most have NO idea how to evaluate investment properties.I HATE when agents bring me a so-called "deal" without having first determined whether it actually makes sense financially.Then, when I do run the numbers and calculate a cash flow of $50/mo and a cash-on-cash return of 3%, I feel violated, like my time has been totally wasted.And, that's the last "deal" I'll ever consider from that agent!

It's amazing that there is so much misinformation floating around.

If they are so stubborn or shortsighted to see they get more this way than an outright sale, then just do a normal outright sale.

Might be better too, so that you get in non-HOA neighborhoods and where investors are more spread out.Maybe someplace like Sanger, Lavon, Caddo Mills, Celeste, Greenville has a ton of options.While they may have sold to or allowed investors to buy, we're seeing more neighborhoods with HOA turn against investors.  

Would love to connect with them if so 

We would love to connect with other investors who have done creative financing, rolled equity over, done battle with loan limits that are so unrealistic, or even moved their money out of state?! 

So, I am thinking that had something to do with my unit under performing.

The highest values are going to be found in having these units all broken up so they can sell individually - exit plan.
