I do not know your area in question but I’m from Toronto and this area is highly over priced and hence I have been buying in smaller cities surrounding it that are benefiting from the ripple effect as well as massive pro immigration laws in Canada as opposed to USA.Mark Cuban says diversification is for idiots.

Just as well, you don't expect someone like a Bankruptcy Attorney to handle immigration issues.

You could check on a UK credit record, but I really see no point.As for criminal records, as part of the visa requirements he would have got an ACPO certificate (think that's the right four letters) which is a certificate from Hampshire Constabularly iirc who do a background check within the UK.

Hi everyone, My first post here.I'm from the UK and will be investing next year into the US.

@Aralyn Austin you get a SSN when you apply for your visa as a legal immigrant.

Even in states that say you can't deny based on someone's immigration status, still let you have criteria of a credit score of XXX, from my understanding.  

For new immigrants and foreign students, I sent them to the local Chase bank, where it was easy for them to get an account.  

Family is Family, And Business is Business, And the two shall never mix, Especially those of us who are immigrants where our culture depicts that your extended extended extended family are as important as your nuclear family.   

Legal immigrants to the US can get drivers licenses, social security cards, and have been vetted before coming to the U.S.

if a new immigrant could not produce a ss card, I'd be leary
