Unfortunately I noticed in some of the smaller communities near me, they are unable to provide any data.

This is only for 3/2.5 homes:All of the below data is the median data...Sqft: 1790Lease cost/sft: $1.62Lease cost/month: $2995Year built: 2008Days on market: 1224 days does seem high, even given the time of year.

So I’m not trying to keep hearing the same thing on repeat it’s like a Greeting from McDonald’s get to the beef not the bun and pickles and all the topping get to the meat of the situation or even Listen to the strategies I’ve been exploring and offer solutions not tell me what you’ve told every other 100’s of investors in Charlotte 

I work ~30 hrs/wk and make more $$$ than I would if I had a traditional FTE job.... but I cant obtain a mortgageWhat are some ideas other than a parent cosigning that I could explore for financing???

I'm working with a friend to explore a partnership/JV with 3rd investor who is a personal friend of his.

My home country's lenders will not consider me as I have no recent track record of earnings and so I wanted to explore getting a mortgage with a US based lender to buy a property in my EU home country, ultimately then moving there and paying of the mortgage from there ... is this possible to anyone's knowledge?

That's how s/he gets re-elected.You should also remember, that if you do go into buying and holding in an impoverished county with data like Franklin's, the chances that you're going to come before the same DMJ in the future for something else are pretty high.

I don't think that will happen, but it is real data and it is happening in the short term.

I may refinance after the forced appreciation or explore a HELOC. 

That arrangement meets the owner occupant requirements of the VA loan.The reason I'd go this route, based on the data points you provided, is:1.
