Did you target foreign buyers at all or they just happened to be buyers from Germany interested?

My question is what extra steps do I need to do to bring foreign money into the US, and what documents will I need from them?

I read an article online that even if you register your LLC out of state, you will still need to register the LLC at your local state as Foreign LLC (and you end up paying fees for both states).

How do you rent to foreign students?   

If I could not attend a first time buyer's inspection on an iffy house I would most likely trade in a favor for another agent to be there, for questions for my buyer's, or to give me feedback...our market's "first time homes" are getting higher and higher priced = lesser and lesser affordable homes... fully believe it's our fiduciary responsiblity to help our clients in foreign territory!
