Hi @Corey Drexler,For non-owner occupied, the only way to avoid saving up a big fat down payment the old fashioned way is really to tap the equity from some other real estate.

We heard Travelers and American Family are good for invenstment properties.

Given the residential mortgage market has over 1 million people who are still delinquent, more and more Americans are quitting their jobs, and the coronavirus continues to impact peoples income and work.I also send letters to private mortgage holders to wholesale (flip the note) or buy it myself. 

There are several opportunities available for volunteers to gain construction experience, including:Local churches or non-profits: Many churches and non-profits have their own construction projects, or may partner with other organizations to build or renovate homes for those in need.Community service organizations: Some community service organizations, such as the Lions Club or Rotary Club, may have construction projects that volunteers can help with.Professional trade organizations: Some professional trade organizations, such as the National Association of Home Builders or the American Institute of Architects, may have opportunities for volunteers to gain construction experience through community service projects.Apprenticeships: Some companies and organizations offer apprenticeship programs that allow individuals to learn a trade and gain hands-on experience in construction.

As others have said, you could be in very hot water because you absolutely cannot deny someone who has a service animal, it violates the americans with disabilities act and this guy could also argue that you discriminated against him being a veteran.

I'd also recommend checking out https://thereiconcierge.com/- they specialize in helping out of country Americans invest in real estate.

@Nelson LealI've been happy with American Modern Insurance Group thus far.

My question is if I am allowed to pull free lists from American counties/cities such as pre-foreclosures, code violations, fire damaged properties, and water shutoffs despite not being an American citizen?

We use an old fashioned lock box with a physical key in them, much like ones a Realtor uses.

And I suspected before you wrote it that you pay security deposits back in a responsible fashion.
