I am a Canadian/American dual citizen. 

Hello Tess, I have to recommend Natali Ketcherside with Century 21 American Realty in Poplar Bluff.

Most Americans are poor and dream of being able to have a lot of cashflow with 0 cash left in the deal.

To get a jump start on my investments would it be smart to save even more for a longer amount of time, for a larger/nicer house (the classic American Dream house) to take advantage of the small down payment?

Luckily my brother wrote the North American operations manual for both the Air Force and Army for Nuclear, Biological and Chemical war fare.  

The person I've been dealing with is from an adjuster company called Sedgwick. my insurance company is NREIG but the names Shield ans American LLoyd are also insurers that are involved. 

I did a  First American Closing cost calculation for my state and scenario  it worked out to be around 1400.    

Hello Fellow BPers,I just got in contract on a property from homesearch.com its a local forclosure and the seller is providing a owners title policy at their expense underwritten by first american title co. + I am paying a little extra for a enhanced policy.Being that this is a very small investment with a small amount of risk I decided to try to do it without an attorney.  

Chinese family values are obviously different than American, but you asked at Bigger Pocket, which is a melting pot of different ethnicities, so, why would you be surprised, that the answers you received were based on American culture, not Chinese?

St Louis is once again the only American City to make a list of top 20 most violent cities (not involved in armed conflict) around the world (http://www.stlmag.com/news/st-louis-named-no-19-mo...), so it would be easy to dismiss it from that.But, looking at local patterns - development, local officials and businesses making an effort to improve neighborhoods, job opportunities - you can get insight into many of these trends.
