DSCR lenders would likely consider that income, but you'll get much less favorable terms, so in many cases, it defeats the purpose. 

So far they all tell me I have to get permission to assume the mortgage and be approved by the lender, which sorta defeats the purpose of sub-to.

It’s self defeating to think every tenant is the same , we must consider them on their own merit , not a broad general standard . 

What would work would be using a US lender if you have US collateral to give but that would likely defeat the purpose and you probably don't need me to tell you that.Finally, there is a lot of inaccurate information around about investing overseas.

but the one from the wholesaler might have a pretty hefty wholesale fee... which defeats the purpose.

Technically I could line up a replacement job and let that pay the bills while I invest slowly (and that’s definitely one of my contingency plans) but in some ways that does defeat the purpose, since leaving the corporate world and focusing all of my time on an investment business is probably the biggest appeal for me.

Doesn't that defeat the process of selling it myself?

The Landlord insurance policy quotes I am receiving has a high deductible for Wind/Hail/Named Storm coverage which effectively means replacing the roof would be out of pocket for me which defeats the purpose of carrying this insurance.

Because FHA buyers having to cover agent costs out of pocket kind of defeats the whole intent of FHA.

Create 2 LLCs- First create an LLC in an Anonymous LLC State like Wyoming - Then create an LLC in the state I'm buying in, like Ohio- The Wyoming LLC would own the Ohio LLC - When purchasing properties, title deed would show the Ohio LLC name instead of meNegatives:California makes all tax residents register their LLCs with the State, even those formed in different states (and requires you submit the names of the owners) so this would defeat the purpose trying to stay off of public record.
