Greg Tudor Non-u.s. citizen tenant prone to damaging our home and unwilling to pay for damages , threatening to leave
17 January 2011 | 5 replies
They are threatening to leave , my fear is that they will cause more damages and simply leave , they aren't U.S. citizens and I sense that they can simply ditch on the U.S. law and run off to another state or even perhaps back to their home country and not be accountable for anything since none of us , including the law , will be able to track them.

Patrick Howe Water Metered VS. Non-Metered
10 March 2022 | 29 replies
We are basically forced to continue paying for water that we are NOT utilizing if we take into account:-Water bills from nearby properties with similar characteristics are way lower-The amount of persons living in the property is two-The fact that our bills are issued prior to the actual consumption, and do not take into account factors such as weather (no need for watering the yard), time away from the property (vacation), etc.On a separate note, when we attempted to register our property on the waitlist to get a meter installation (program that is now stopped due to potential lead repercussions), the system declined our property claiming that it was not eligible, although we follow all parameters indicated – a non-metered, residential account for a single family home.We believe this is a completely unfair, abusive, and unreasonable situation, which might affect other many citizens who are stuck within the same conundrum.Any suggestions?

Majid Kamil Investing in Turkey?
12 January 2022 | 2 replies
The other side of the coin is that the fall of the Turkish lira is the reflection of deep economic and political or not, which could have an influence of the value of your investment.I invest in countries where it's profitable but I also want to make sure that 1) I'm treated equally as the citizens of the country, 2) the risk of my property being confiscated or nationalized is limited and 3) I can repatriate home my rental income and the proceeds of the sale should I decide to sell.I would consider investing there if I'm satisfied that I can get all of that but I believe there are better places to invest right now.
