@Daniel Kong hit the nail on the head.

@Mike Hong if they are one deed you can get one loan.

@Dominic Royles we manage rentals for several investors in your part of the world: Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, New Caledonia:)

One of our best tenants was a tech intern from Hong Kong on an 18-month assignment - no pet, no boyfriend, no car, here to work and keep her nose clean and explore the city.In short, remember that this isn't just a financial decision.

This means you can not get a mortgage..to be able to get a mortgage in US, instead of waiting for one year, you can file the W7 case h: mortgage for property investment, attach a enclose a letter from a mortgage provider that says you need an ITIN to get a mortgage.The elephant in the room: how your domestic jurisdiction treats US incomeSome tax jurisdiction (Hong Kong for example) apply territorial taxation, which means that only domestically sourced income is considered for tax.

Im am a South African boy, living and working in Hong Kong and wanting to invest in the USA with the end goal being a life for my family in the USA.

Greetings from Hong Kong!

Jimmy Hong that's a great goal !!

I was feeling a little hesitant about putting all the money into only one house but as Jimmy Hong points out-- I am leveraging the bank’s money this time around and not my own money!
