my primary interest in real estate at the moment is Wholesaling and I look forward to learning all that i can about the subject.

I looked at the link you provided, and I didn't see that all foreign properties are subject to the ADS . . . what I saw was 'Any property imported from a foreign country for which an Executive Order is in effect because the country maintains trade restrictions or engages in other discriminatory acts.'

I am not an attorney, but I have syndicated 2 deals so I have some knowledge on the subject.  

However, a very simple technique is to ask the seller to take out the largest mortgage possible and then buy the property subject to the mortgage.

There a few good books on the subject and also very good online documents with most self directed providers.

One of the problems with home inspections is that they are sometimes pretty subjective.

You can still pump and service your existing cesspool up until 2050, which is currently the year by which all existing cesspools are subject to a mandatory septic upgrade requirement.

You'll be subject to ordinary income and possibly self-employment taxes as well.  

The home uses 2 natural gas heaters (dyna-glo 3000 BTu), house was built in 1950 (older homes used these gas heaters as a heat source in the area) and is in the upperclass area where newer homes have been built and continue to be built ( which newer homes have central heat) , I just had the appraisal come back to the lender is saying that “” Appraisal stated The heaters aren’t normal for the area this is a comparable item The subject property doesn’t exist the area and/or comps used” so the underwriter won’t approve the refi , what do you guys think my next move should be?

Leveraging where I could.Take advantage of this high market and put your money into an asset(s) that is valued as a business and not subjected to the sways if the market.It will also make your life more manageable with a w-2, free up a lot of $ and reduce your tax exposure as you raise those kids.Locking up all of that cash makes that $9-10k not as appealing for me.
