Before one can answer

(a) Are you US person ( citizen/GreenCard/Resident for tax purposes )? If yes, you are taxed on your world income, file on form 1040, rental income reported on Schedule-E. If not , then you are taxed a NRA, file on form 1040-NR -- you are taxed on your US sourced/connected income. Your rental income is passive but US sourced. Also the state ( CA?) would want a cut.

(b) Are you planning of buying housing only for purposes of income or you plan to use as own home. Note there is at least a 1/4 point penalty for rental property mortgage.

(d) if you are a US citizen or GreenCard, which country are you a citizen of ?

(e) Real question here is what are you trying to achieve ?

I will circle back once I hear from you --yes ?
