A refugee who started with Zero English, zero money, zero family network, and zero REI background.

Refugees have to have an I-94 form stamped upon entry into the country before they file for a social security number. 

And that's how I became a real estate convert (and a stock market refugee who now only invests in professionally managed, low-fee index funds).I've recently moved to Tampa, FL and have been researching and watching the real estate market closely.

Nous avons fréquemment des locataires qui parlent une langue autre que l'anglais ou français.We have a house - 9 rooms in two units - where are tenants are all international students, communication with them can be challenging, but we always manage.We also work with the local multicultural association and rent units - especially short term rentals during the off season when our students are away - to refugees and immigrants.

Thomas S. can confirm for me, but I believe that you can't enforce any payment order (by LTB or even small claims) against a person who is on any form of government assistance (welfare, disability, refugee...)If there is  more than one name on the lease and at least one of them has a job, then you are good to go.

The influx of European refugees from WW-III will have an impact, also.As for things "screaming inflation", how many wrongs does it take to make a right?

A landlord who has 50 rentals in the area told me half his tenants are Asheville refugees, and main street has quite a few new businesses coming in so we'll have to wait and see about Canton's future.

I wouldn't be shocked if some of your buyers were previously my sellers as a little while back I had several Cali refugees destined for Boise.
