Hi,we were thinking of a 2-3 bed if it was cheaper.
The rent is so high,we would be better off buying(is that possible not being a us citizen)

I would think that would be extremely difficult. Without being a US citizen plus the way the housing market is right now bank loans are harder to get. Especially for first time buyers.

Actually, it's fairly easy to buy property here in the US and not be a citizen so long as you are legal and authorised to work, yada yada. Getting a loan is still not terribly hard if you have reasonable credit. If you have little to no credit history then forget it. It's finally back to the way it should have always been.

Hi, Some good points made. Due to the legality I may be forced to rent for a while but I will ask my employer to discuss with the attorneys for clarification. I assume we will have to rent near the school, where we send the children, then look to buy in the same area so that the children dont have to chage schools; this makes selecting the right school/ area to rent very critical as we may be there for a while!
