Quote from @Victor Yang: [NORTH CAROLINA] Hello,Is there a way i can create a lease for just the land, but not the house, or have a NNN residential equivalent?

When i press on the cracked areas, it does not appear soft or wet.I plan to fix it, but I worry it may reappear in months.

This appears to be a 'transfer tax' instead of an income tax. 

If you haven't checked the market for homes with "inlaw suites" or whatever your market equivalent is that can be a way to get it done as well. 

They should pay just like someone on a regular lease pays - cash or equivalent into your bank account. 

Get a Quit claim or Special Warranty deed from the seller to you, (Preferable a Special Warranty Deed or equivalent)5.

I've found options in Costa Rica, but rates are in the 10% range.Does anyone have any experience or guidance on obtaining a mortgage equivalent to purchasing a 2nd home in the US?

I do see how the knowledge could likely save me the equivalent in mistakes but none of us have a crystal ball.

In order to do this, you need to have cash or cash equivalent for that one day that you close.

You provide an excel sheet with basic information about the companies and they return all the contact info you could want for about $0.15 per lead.I have not been able to find an equivalent for Canada.
