Spend the time on your reaearch and dont get too excited by the high weekly rent during peak season.  

Anthony - Is your question about the overall investment strategy or about the logistics of bringing money earned offshore and using it here to invest in the US?

Within these 12 months you have earned back over 50% of that initial investment.  

If possible, time your lease termination to end in spring/summer so that you aren't stuck off peak market with a vacant property.As an agent, I would also recommend title insurance and factoring that cost into your cost basis, whether you're going through an age or not.

Creative financing is about the use of your money, use of assets, meeting the needs of the parties, setting goals that lead to conventional financing, using your abilities and knowledge to earn your way into ownership and using other sources of funding that are available to you, it's not a magic pill for having no knowledge, money and credit.Alternatives are endless, not knowing what you have available to work with or knowing the motivations and needs of the seller, you can't arrive at a solution, first identify the problems to be overcome. :) 

At 850k it is still 20% under all time peak. 

You receive a W-2 from an investment banking firm - no need for a company there, earned income.You receive a W-2 from the DJ business now and so you would not want to receive wages or earned income and deposit it into an LLC and report that as SE income and be subject to the SE taxes a second time on the same money and you would not want to deposit it into an S-corp and then be forced to pay yourself W-2 earnings and pay payroll taxes (same as SE tax) for a second time on the same money again.The only question left is the side gigs you do and I would put that on your Sched C income and buy yourself a bond insurance policy which is probably pretty cheap.Joe

we provide commercial financing from 90%-100% from 5million and up on newconstruction,multifamily and assisted living facilitites. nonrecourse loans based on the actual project itself and not the personal credit. bring all referals and earn 6 figures a year with our compensation plans ,just for refering a developer or qualified buyer who wanna purchase or develop.

Both housing and stocks are well below their peaks, with no signs of recovering to those previous highs.My feeling is that stocks will less affected than housing.
