Well one thing that is interesting in regards to Earnest Money is that you take a place like Ohio, I'd imagine it's the same in Oregon but in Ohio the Division of Real Estate regulates the activities of real estate brokerages and their trust accounts but the Division of Insurance is who regulates title companies.

I imagine that the investors cannot or would not pony that up.  

If somebody out there has a bunch of sub to deals, this could create big problems for them I imagine. 

I imagine other people might have good alternative suggestions too. 

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. 

Found several others affected by this individual.I can imagine.

Imagine if you had one single-family home.

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.  

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

As far as waiting until you graduate: either option would work but I would imagine your biggest obstacle at the moment would be that you do not have a set record of wages from an employer.
