yes, you are correct, rehabbing means major repairs and updates.
I suggest you read these two books to get a better idea of what I am talking about
:
How to buy and sell apartment buildings
and
The complete guide to buying and selling apartment buildings
(yes, you can read'em online, thanks google)
I don't know how the investment rules are for "foreign investors" but for sure that should not be a big issue.
