Thanks for sharing!

Use it to gain some experience as a landlord and in two years leverage the equity to purchase a duplex.

With your experience and possible skillset, perhaps finding a company to sponsor you for a green card may be a better option? 

You'll likely need a higher down payment if you can find anyone willing to finance something like this as a first time investor; many require some level of rehab experience at the very least.

Can you share what your findings were?

Consider starting small, like with a duplex, to get experience.

@Tru Verret Fleming What was your experience? 

But if you build a solid team and do your homework, it can be extremely rewarding.If you’re interested, I’ve put together a lot of resources on the market that might help—happy to share.

Anyone else have experience with this?

Happy to connect and share ideas!
