Looking to partner up to start buying - fixing - renting out and flipping properties.We have not set a location yet but preferred locations would be Florida, Texas, North Carolina but all suggestions are welcome.Also advise on good immigration lawyer is welcome.I'll be coming over to the US in 2 weeks and like to meet some great people.Thanks a lotFrederic

Outside of that, still trying to work out long term effects.I could potentially wait longer to see if the currency rebounds but opinion seems to be that with less immigration, along with changes so landlords can no longer write off mortgage interest, prices will drop.There's been some Vancouver BP meets, organized by @Matthew Jarvis  so try and get yourself along if you can!

If contractors feel anything less than those rates are for "unlicensed immigrant workers" like he said, I may be on the wrong side of this business equation.

If you're really having problems finding a lender that knows this, it may simply be because Georgia doesn't have a particularly large immigrant population (I'm in CA, so this is normal for us - everything from Italians to Koreans to Mexicans).If you are in the country unlawfully but have an ITIN, you will need to search far and wide for an "ITIN Mortgage Lender."

:PPlease do share and share alike - I have a lot to learn in this market for sure + anyone reading this will get a fuller picture.My initial reason for purchase here was not for investment reasons, it was for immigration.

I'm an immigration attorney, so I have to mention that what I'm saying here cannot be taken as legal advice.

We're both Belgian citizens and non-immigrants in the US and lacking an SSN therefore also lacking any kind of credit score.

We fell into a dismal financial situation in NYC (medical bills, costly immigration fees, snowballing living expenses...) and decided to move to Tucson where the cost and pace of living is more manageable.

This year I plan to participate much more so I'm finally getting around to doing my intro.I grew up lower middle class to really hard working dedicated immigrant parents.

I'm an immigrant from a small island who had done a 2 yr degree in business and was wondering if that would be sufficient enough to get me approved for a licence providing that i have already met the other requirements for applying for a real estate licence in Florida. have anyone else ever gone through that process and if so let me know how you dealt with it. thank you in advance.
