Hey Karen so I took your advice and reached out to a local bank by my house in which they do not do new construction loans but referred me to a guy at Citizens bank who has been incredibly helpful.

hi @Trudy P. at the moment I'm buying in Arkansas, And looking for deals in Memphis and considering Houston, I have relatives in Houston.I'm working with a lender, it's like a mortgage broker and they can possibly help you.Some US lender will not provide conventional loan to non US citizen, and dome small local banks will not loan to out of state.  

I'm a US citizen. 

Homeowner old and sells out to a investor.. or moves out as they want better schools and or don't want to be around a bunch of renters.3. there will always be a section of US citizen who cannot manage credit.. who gets divorced and or dies intestate so you have BAnk owned or lender Owned real estate that comes on the market.But the same happens in Vegas as well I bought 4 fix and flips in the last 30 days in Vegas all will make substantial profits on the resale.. so all these markets have some great thing about them and you cannot compare them to each other.. you can't even compare Memphis to Nashville and they are in the same state.My long winded 2 cents  and I have my flame suit on if anyone wants to take a jab at me :)

@Melissa Searing I believe First Citizens here in Charleston has a similar product.

Need some help here.Just showed a property to prospective tenant who just moved here from Western Europe. She seems very interested and will probably apply. Problem is, I don't think anything will come up on her backg...

Do not contact Him or his realtor or his mother by text or email - all future communication should be through his corporate attorney and we should fix the dry wall problem in the swimming pool room bathroom and he will be reporting it to city of oak brook on monday for the record4. if items are not repaired in 5 days he will fix them himself and send me a bill5. he went on facebook got a picture of me and my wife at our engagement party from 12 years ago and calls me a dishonest liar and he and his attorney wants to know if we are US Citizens - I am guess this is from our skin color since there was nothing else in the photo to indicate anything "un-american" for point 4 i have reached out to the city of oak brook with details via email and hoping to hear back soon from them monday perhaps) obviously this guy is going to lie his heart out. 

I am an inactive CPA Tier II senior citizen, have an active Realtor's license and look forward to get started and to communicate with you in this forum with so many great members.Best of luck to all. 

Hey BP, I am Juan Nunez currently living in Orange County NY.Back in 2007, my wife and I try getting into the REI, we started out forming a LLC, my wife got her Real Estate license but we didn't follow through with the investing. when I look back I would say it was because a lack of knowledge, fear and no direction.We are looking to find our niche in buy and hold, property management, looking forward to being a productive citizen in this BP community.Juan.

Hello, BP - I'm looking for a tax/legal professional in the Raleigh area to discuss my upcoming real estate gifting situation.My mother-in-law (non us citizen) is about to gift my wife (dual citizen) and I a fairly valuable property in a foreign country.
