From my conversations with mortgage brokers, it seems like the best LTV I can get for a cash-out refinance as a foreigner is only 65% (compared to a 80% that any American resident can get). 

I'm always on the look out and I struck up conversation. 

Just ask for conversation and see if she gets "shady."

We've done several of these owner carry conversions over the years. 

You need to have a candid conversation with the PM on how they run a property day to day: maintenance requests, annual furnace maintenance, etc.

No correct answer, but at least have the conversation, then put it in writing.

Every conversation is a learning experience waiting to happen.

I know a cpa conversant in both jurisdictions, and have also stumbled upon a Canadian-based exempt market dealer, who might offer an easier solution for my investor, even though it would mean I would lose him as a client.

At the core of the OPs conversation what were really talking about is building a DIY version of VRBO/ABB.

Hi guys,Any recommendation for a builder to do ADU detached garage conversion in Fullerton, California?
