If I did my math correctly, on a 3,600 SF triplex where you buy the land for $150k, you generate a gross profit of about $84k (based on a $140/sf build cost and sale price of $205/sf), before you pay interest on any borrowed funds or closing/commission costs.

Visa and FinancingYou're correct that securing a mortgage might be challenging without legal status or a W2 job.

For the minor stain, I would probably get in touch with the cleaner to confirm whether it was there before and/or to correct the issue but again your property manager should probably be doing that. 

Yes, that is all correct, especially since we are in a very small town and the property location is fairly remote.

Yes, technically that is correct.

LOC's can have negative effects on your future purchasing power if not set up correctly and keeping in mind you can "never" use an LOC as a reserve or asset.It will always be a debt burden and can over inflate your back end debt ratios depending on the W2 income and your liabilities.

@Francisco PineiroYou could call a few home inspectors in the market you are investing in and see if they do draw inspections so you know the items are correctly done before sending funds

I've been keeping my eye on San Antonio a bit as it seems it's going through a correction and potential for cash flow may be increasing.
