My Fiancee and I currently live in Portland, OR but are relocating to Metro Detroit after the wedding in September!

Do I need a special visa (B1 working visa)?

Your fiancée would benefit from looking at getting a w2 job because off the books income is not going to count.

In your neighborhood, you don't want to have a vacancy very long, because things can tend to 'go missing'.If one tenant has sufficient income to qualify based on your standards, but the (probably) student with no social (BTW, get a copy of their visa for your records, and proof they are a full-time student) does NOT have provable income or background, the ONLY way to go is to get first, last and security.Since you are living there, you will have a better handle on the day-to-day, and you MUST stay on top of things. 

I’ve written her an extensive text message and had a visa gift card i Usually give tenants.

The other problem is there is a garage / shed in the backyard the renter lets her fiancée store his tools in, and I am going to live in the other unit so I want the garage myself, and could see them pushing back on this.

Deste modo, as alterações dão uma proteção extra aos inquilinos com mais de 65 anos ou deficiência igual ou superior a 60% que tenham celebrado contratos antes de 1990.Esta proteção aplica-se nos casos em que houve falta de informação ou de resposta às cartas de atualização das rendas, quando entrou em vigor o Novo Regulamento do Arrendamento Urbano (NRAU), e que viram o seu contrato a passar para cinco anos, correndo agora o risco de serem despejados.Se os inquilinos viverem há mais de 15 anos na casa – o que poderá ser comprovado por atestado da junta de freguesia – o contrato só pode chegar ao fim se a casa for demolida ou sofrer uma obra profunda que obrigue à saída de quem lá vive.Há ainda outra medida que visa proteger os idosos e deficientes, nomeadamente aqueles que assinaram o contrato de arrendamento entre 1990 e 1999.

This is my first post here, so I hope I don't mess it up :)My name is Hugo Laranjeira and I'm a real estate agent/brokerage founder (Nomad Real Estate) /investor/ all around problem solver in LisbonI wanted to talk a little about how Portugal is a great place for investors right now and, on the other hand, I'd like to ask a few questions about the US.First of all, I don't know is this is well known, but Portugal is today the best gateway to anyone coming to Europe to live or invest due to our visa program.Did you see the news about Madonna coming to Portugal and all that publicity stunt about how Lisbon is beautiful and such?

I plan to have my own brokerage in 5 years(hopefully) and also a property management company with my fiancée who is working in the construction field.

Quick bit about me: I have been going through the Visa process to move from Melbourne, Australia to the great country of America.
