Buying 1st property

[Donovan Maskell]

I have question, I would appreciate any advice on the topic please?

I am looking at buying my first single family home, but I’ve run into a few snags so far.

I am from South Africa and looking to finance the purchase. The house is located in the USA and I work here in the USA on a H2A visa.

So far I am putting a 8% deposit down on the house. But it seems like my debt to income ratio is a little high, it’s around 52% and I can get it down to 44% so that’s not a problem. As a foreigner I am not sure what do to and what the best way is.

Please provide some advice on this topic.
