How soon can I qualify for conventional loan and can I time it for purchasing the property that I am in due diligence period?

I'm in the process of purchasing my first property and initially it will be my primary residence.

You are correct that there are some logistics that you've got to pay attention to but that is part of the qualified intermediary's job -steering you through the regulatory maze.  

Hi, i'm a non us resident looking to acquire a SFH in Memphis this year.

I'm in the process of purchasing my first property and initially it will be my primary residence.

The Finance Minister announced steps to curb the influx of foreign capital into the Canadian Real Estate Market  (in which he really meant TO and Vancouver ... down east we are not really suffering from the influx of foreign money ... sure we lost a 50-unit deal a couple of years ago to a Chinese investor, but the property was not worth what s/he paid, so we'll see it back on the market eventually).That said, Ottawa is only removing a loophole which has allowed foreigners to purchase a residence in Canada, claim it as their principal residence and then benefit from the personal residence {captial gains} tax exemption when they sell.  

I now currently reside in Saint Louis City.

All my carpet jobs have been small and either wouldn't have qualified for the specials or hd couldn't get me scheduled fast enough, so I haven't actually used them to know if this is true.

Only a handful of these properties would even qualify for Section 8 housing, which has some very minimal requirements.

LLCs generally do not qualify as like-kind assets.
