I'm not sure what nationality you are, but I had just closed a transaction with a Chinese national. She paid cash for her home. The bigger challenge was in some of the other factors surrounding the home: setting up accounts for the utilities, buying furnishings for the home, a car, etc.
There are some international banks that can transfer your monies from one currency to another, but some countries also limit the amount of funds that can be transferred from their country to US dollars within a specific year. All of that needs to be accounted for as well.
Your ITIN number helps but that does not guarantee a visa, or long term right to stay in the country. So there are additional questions to ask related to obtaining some form of visa. Yes you can own property in the US but you may not be able to live in it long term without proper visa status.... more

What does speed look like? Have you ever worked with a lender that closed like a freight train? He/she actually answered their phone and pre-approved your buyer quickly (say 30 mins). He/she got

I had some clients with the best credit and cash on hand you could imagine. I successfully short sale'd their home (way underwater) and then they tried to buy as quickly as possible. No matter how many lenders they talked to, it was impossible. The two year minimum I told them about was impossible for them to overcome. So, I'd talk to a lender right away after the 2 year mark is over, even now they could give you good suggestions on how to improve your credit. (However, there is one lender who answered this question that thinks he can do it in one year - that'd be the first time I'd heard of that.)... more

I would start by calling Bank of America on Monday. It is not unusual for loans to be sold. If your loan was sold after it was transferred to Countrywide (those loans now with BofA) then BofA should be able to direct you to the next servicer. Hopefully it will only take one call!... more
Frankly, I wouldn't use a RE agent at all and I are one. Unless they specialize in MH's. I'd be more inclined to use a Manufactured Home Dealer/sales person. You will probably save on the commission and will be working with someone who truly understands MH's.
Now if you select a RE professional who also has a MH sales license and understands all the nuances that relate to the MH industry that's a different story. Or if you're in an MH condo conversion where you own the dirt or air space as well that's a different story. Then you would have to use a licensed RE professional.
Check out our websites for more info. We'd be happy to direct you to a qualified MH professional in our area at no charge.
