For the last few years, 40% of all purchases in USA have been international buyers.In order to take a loan, most of the banks would want you to have 2 years work experience  in USA, have a work visa, SS # and a credit score of at least 660.

., I have purchased 12 units (4plexes, duplex, SFHs) between 4 addresses by myself and with 2 different partners in the last 2 years, started a monthly meetup group in Oakland, and hosted a big RE Networking Summit in SF last weekend w/ about 200 other RE investors and 20 inspiring speakers and panelists from BP, mentored several newer investors, borrowed from and done deals with other BP members, and gained a huge network of wonderful people :)  I also control 3 additional units w/ 5yr leases rented out to international students and Airbnb.

You also want to add $400-$600 for permits, plumbing tests, and engineering reports depending on what you exit strategy is...all of this is assuming it is a slab foundation and you don't need internal piers...If it's a pier and beam, you almost have to get someone to go look at it for you.
