If she can't provide this information than it would be a judgement call on your part, but in my experience without providing this info, the best a renter could do would be to get a notarized letter from the husband stating agreement to the alimony, how much they're paying and for how long.

How would we know the op posting isn't one of this dudes competitors.If someone was convicted of a crime, which has been the case, then we would pull their stuff..but short of that, people are free to make their own judgements.

Since the owner lives in Japan, he would not show up and you are 1) awarded the Judgement.

Get your judgement so you're first in line when assets are sold.

Just before Judgement and a mis-understood property value.  

Two questions for you:1) What kinds and size of judgements are you typically seeing against property owners?

For criminal record you have to use your own judgement and follow the rules for your state.

In this case, after speaking with local real estate agents, a local appraiser, and a half dozen lenders, I think (hope) I'll get away with my err in judgement this time and procede as "by the book" as possible going forward.Regarding the insurance, everyone has stories about insurance companies trying to weasel out of their coverages.

I think the big thing is when you have family and friend influence of getting an engineering degree to change completely to a new role kind of gives you judgement all around.

That's how you get the best of both worlds.I will defer to your judgement / answers as you are going to be more of an expert in the area and I am just basing it on spending a few months there and potentially wanting to live there in the future.Maybe I chose a wrong word when I said 'poor'.I stayed in Madrid during my time and I just based my response based on discussions I had with locals and 'high level research' on the internetIt appears that unemployment rate is high in Spain at around 11 percent with a higher rate for those who are younger.A had discussions with many where they are mentioning to go outside of Spain if they want to further their career or get a higher salary.locals have told me that it is difficult to start a business in Spain from getting approval and the taxes are higher for those that are self-employed.My personal assessment, which I think agrees with yours, it will be hard to make a rental work if you target it to locals but if you target it to outsiders, you can make it work.During my stay in Madrid - I stayed in Chamberi, Lavapies, La Latina, Malasana and spend around $60 to $120 a night mostly in airbnb's(basic rooms with basic furniture).
