The way we do it in the UK is low ball on offers, and then I realised in the US there are scenarios when you do this and when you don't.

Hard working people who find a way to save the difference are great examples for our children.I did not come from money or anything fancy, both of my parents were immigrants with high school education - they arrived here under 20 and with the clothes on their back.

Hello,I am a UK citizen/resident who is looking to invest in property within the United States.

The numbers are stacking up and there is a major shortage of rentals, with double digit returns.Downside is I live in the UK but the returns in the USA are just too tempting but I will have to come over and be the project manager, I had nightmares on my first project in Siesta Key when I left the contractor to his own devices, so that will be my only choice

Also in such neighborhoods there are sometimes working poor immigrants who work 80 hours a week cleaning other people's houses and don't have much time to care for their own house.

Here's great info to help detect fraud from Immigration and Customs:http://apmp.berkeley.edu/APMP/refdocs/travidentdocs.ins.pdfAlso, another great resource (for pay) is:www.driverslicenseguide.com

oh your not wrong mate. a few years ago MBNA one of our largest banks and huge source of employment in the area i live was taken over by bank of america. last year one of our biggest lenders in the UK "the abbey" (my mortgage provider) was taken over by santander group, and over the past two months they santander have also taken over 2 more national high street lenders "alliance and leicester" and "bradford and bingley".It's a perfect example of how corporations rule the world and the philosophy of the rich get richer while the poor end up on their arse

I would probably save this argument for the immigration issue?

Yeah, I think it's a London wholesaler to UK investors.

The puritans came over because they didn't have representation in the old world, they took this land from people who were already living here sovereignly.Then they build this nation on the backs of slaves; african americans are the only one's who were forced to come here *this is a fact* no slaves decided they wanted to work for free.the prosperity provided by all this free labor along with all the immigration brought over great ideas to this country.
