overseas lender and/or buyer for u.s. properties?

[Savannah Leigh]

i was approached by someone from overseas about being a lender. favorable terms, nice limits, agreeable on the draft contracts i supplied, etc.

since i hadn't been looking for overseas money i was surprised by the approach.

clearly, there are warning bells, but also there's my desire never to miss an opportunity. or look a gift horse in the mouth.

question: if this person signs the documents and wires the money, how could it go wrong for me? seems as though it could go wrong for them if i were dishonest...but not the other way

legally, how do i not run afoul of international money/laundering/terror regulations...since i have few ways to verify this person's validity

any ideas? run is one, but i'm hoping theres a 'not run' option

thanks
