@John Wassink  @Engelo Rumora @Fred Heller @Rashard Alomari @Alvin Neal, I am using an UK company just for convenience really, being European is much easier to travel to the UK and have a chat with these people instead of flying to the US.

Lots of interesting stuff happening all over the region, Novi Sad will be the European cultural center 2021.

Depending upon whether they are a bank or a trust company, custodians are heavily regulated by the IRS, DOL, and possibly the FDIC, State Banking Commissioner, and the Comptroller of the Currency.

I doubt too that an investor needs to know how many members there are on the state board of real estate commissioners, or who appoints them or know which broker is responsible for settlement.

I have found it easier to work with my foreign investor clients (Canadian, European, and Asian) who buy and hold properties for monthly cash flow compared to trying to help foreign investors who want to rehab and resell for capital appreciation.

Hi @Chris Garrett - I would love to know if you were able to buy that house in the commissioner's auction, and how you worked out your financing dilemma.

Tim, when was the last time, (if ever) you visited a western European country?

Can someone please explain the main concept and details of a "commissioners certificate sale"?

When we filed complaints with LA Insurance Commissioner-- the last 4 out of 5 were in jail for bribery, extortion and corruption-- no luck with crooked "regulators"public adjuster took 10% of the cut of what he got above what ins. co was willing to pay on a claim.

I appreciate you explaining your viewpoints.apologies 3% is not the most recent statistic, particularly with the international wars, international business, and greater ease of travel, I expect it is higher now. but you have to admit that until recently Americans have not mixed in with the rest of the world the way the Canadians and Europeans have. this is because America was such an independent country for so long, and kudos for that.it is a really big question to ask where we would draw the lines to fight for our beliefs at home or in other parts of the world because as we speak we have military on foreign soil trying to hold back terrorism, we have underground criminal agendas in our countries and in countries that affect ours, we have other agendas coming from many directions based on greed for power some of which are harmless and some of which are not, we have extremists, and we have an overwhelming majority of people who just want to live peacefully and who may or may not agree on the methods to achieve that. we also have a lot of people who talk and others who are putting their lives on the line right now to stand for their beliefs and the ones they love. many people have sacrificed a lot to keep our countries free. frankly I wish they could be afforded the same rights as terrorists on American soil but they willingly took up arms and have risked their lives to protect the rest of us including the terrorists here at home, and many of them were injured and many have died doing just that. frankly I have more respect for them than those who should have to give up their rights (following due process) by things they have done to innocent people. in general I don't think people really care about our military enough. they don't support them, listen to them, understand them or even know what they are doing.
