I’m meeting with a seller tomorrow to sign my agreement.

It wasn’t until this point that I noticed that I wwould not be able to buy it with a loan, but I was still determined.

The reason I suggest doing this upfront is because you will likely need to sign loan docs via a notary on video chat from Afghanistan, which only a few title companies will go for.Stay safe, and remember to hoard food before Ramadan. 

I have a unique situation wherein the property I want to purchase is owned by 5 siblings and they have all agreed they want the oldest sibling to sign everything on their behalf, so they want to complete a power of attorney form to give him the right to sign.

In our unit walkthrough we determined that all the unit panels are Zinsco's, probably original to the property (built in 1968).

Massive action, determination, perseverance and hard work lead to success. 

First thing you should do is determine your marketing budget and then build a marketing campaign around that.

Once a property is under contract have it inspected to determine the current condition and life expectancy of all major components and appliances.  

If you can dream it you can achieve it with massive action and determination. 

Congrats on your decision to create financial freedom for you and your family.Start with determining a marketing budget, then a set of goals and reverse engineer from there.
