I am not by any stretch of the imagination a xenophobe, and I grew up in New York City surrounded by many foreign accents, but I have had to ask, "Is there anyone there who speaks English?"

My 5th grade teacher wrote a "T" on I believe an English assignment once and I asked her what a "T" is and she told me it was not worth of an "F".

Especially important is your wife's need for a plan that is sensative to her level of comfort with English language, customs and some flexibility as to whether she might live in CA and continue to operate the prooerty as a rental.I might caution that if the property is held in trust, your current lender should not care but should you wish to refi later, title will most likely require taking out of any trust temporarily to close new loan.This is provably more than you wanted, which was a simple, sound-bite answer.

Thanks,Manuel.Ps: sorry for my english: i am french but live in Mexico (RIVIERA MAYA) and a big fan of bigger pocket...

Maybe it is just for an person with English as second language and come from different RE culture.

PS: My English is not perfect but I'm working to get there 

I started right out in 2008, investing Out-Of-State, 14 deals in 18 months, never saw one of them, and I barely spoke English and knew nobody in USA in Dec 2007 when I came here! 

Many of the tenants for these properties can't speak intelligible English, and or they are just not  very bright.  

I can see why the English language is confusing) If the bathroom is 1st floor, and has a crawlspace get under there (or pay someone else to) and check the shower drain for any cracks or leaks.  

I just moved back from teaching English in Korea last year.
