I'll provide more context why it seemed this way below.I imagined the call would be an opportunity to learn about their section 8 process and opt into their email list.

Wow can you imagine being a LP with this dude :)  we will have to ask Mr.

@Chris Seveney, I can only imagine two things here:1.

I did wake up to an email yesterday offering a 15 minute call with @Dutch Mendenhall for this (Friday) afternoon, but as I told them (and have remained consistent with since this started), all communications have to be in writing. 

However this would obviously require substantial work and we probably wouldn't have the funds for years.Since I think we'd be losing money to rent it out (if we were to move) at our current rate with a conventional loan, I'm imagining maybe some kind of seller finance situation... which gets back to my question, what kind of deal could we present to our landlord that they might find appealing and gets us the chance to at least break even on rent?

The judge asked if we had negotiated and I said I had offered him the opportunity to just leave, which he declined.Anyway, he has set aside a whole hour for the hearing, so I can only imagine what a pain it will be. 

I can’t imagine the returns you would have to generate. 22% federal tax, plus 8% state tax, plus 10% penalty.

Like in my mind that is truly the last thing on earth that I could imagine to mess up my real estate investment plans with some idiot with a stolen car crashing into your property and escaping and I imagine how you felt when you found out.  

Imagine something as simple as deciding tomorrow to spend 3-6 months in Australia because it’s too cold here, or I haven’t been, or a friend dared me.

So, as you can imagine, I completely disagree with the opinion that investing in the US is better.
