Finally closed on my house in Jacksonville, Fl.I ended up giving Power of Attorney to my brother and having him sign for me.I would advise others to have their POA setup prior to leaving the US as I had to go to the US Embassy in Bangkok to have the POA papers notarized.

Not a solution, but going forward...Have all adult tenant prospects fill out applications which require their social security number, driver's license number, their birth date, their current address and their prior address.
