Also know your foreign language whether it be Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, etc or go to the these neighborhood chamber of commerce and ask for their referrals.

And how much longer will the Chinese keep bidding up properties, sight-unseen?

In other words, he was open book on the credit.One more anecdote: when Samsung came to town, their culture dictated that they discount quotes by 10%.  

Account Closed The issue is he's got a culture going of just selling people all the insurance they will buy, not what is appropriate to their needs and objectives. 

Investing is fraught with hidden traps, and is hard enough in the same city, let alone in a state where the culture is way different. 

The second way is that LegalZoom, absent additional fees, doesn't discuss a personalized business structure plan that explores your risk aversion, your amount of assets, and what type of business structure is actually best for you.Do not buy into the cultural zeitgeist, an LLC is not the answer to every problem.

@Carrianne Mucho  yup if I was not so invested on the west coast and was looking for a new place to live it would be one of my first choices.. but you would need to be a water dog... its surrounded by water. and us Californians are used to mountains and they don't have any of those.. but culture great food , ( have to import your wine).. nice people and a robust Real estate economy with thousands of potential rehabbers.. since the city is so old  2nd oldest in the US>  I just close on one I was going to rehab.. turned out the termites caused so much damage its a demo job.. but not to worry new construction there will be just fine :)check out  74 America Charleston  SC  this is one I just sold last month.. this is what we are building there selling at 225 to 250 a foot finished

@Jacqueline Basset  I hear what your saying.. but real estate is tangible.. and its the base to all wealth in the world.. we cannot get into the reasons why folks want to be landlords.. other than they do... you and I won't change that fact.. there is a reason Blackstone  America 4 rents etc etc bought 100 thousand plus homes... and these are not silly people.. these are top financial minds in the US> Its why foreigners buy so much US real estate.. they want to own it.. many of the Chinese will buy in high priced bay area or Vancouver BC and just leave the properties vacant.. they have different reasons for buying and return on investment is not one.. its just move their cash to something that has some liquidity and is safe..
