One thing I'm taking away from this case is, wow, this long, drawn-out foreclosure process is not even trustworthy. 

I've heard some property managers will oversee rehabs directly, others may have a trustworthy contractor that can manage the project on their own and maintains consistent communication.

Best I can hope for is give my most trustworthy sibling power of attorney as a backup for major issues, and leave the rest to property management.

Being that I'm in the property management business, I have some trustworthy, knowledgable professionals (in the Charlotte area) at my fingertips that I've used in my day job and am looking to leverage the relationships I've built and utilize them on my investment endeavors.

However, as long as you can provide them with an IBAN or SWIFT code for your bank and the necessary routing information for your branch and account, there should be little problem.Another way which is easier and most often cheaper is to use Paypal - provided the candidate lives in a country where s/he has access to Paypal.You can also use Western Union, but it has been the centre of so many international scams over the years that it may not be viewed as trustworthy by the candidate.There are also several ForEx services on-line these days, some of which will wire money for far less than a bank.

If you are transparent and project yourself as trustworthy, you will be It's all about perceptions.

If you're enthusiastic, trustworthy, reliable, honest, personable, and a little bit lucky, this is a great way to start.

I'm trying to structure terms but I can't find reliable resources regarding Dodd Frank.Can anybody shed some light on a trustworthy resource that is not in lawyer speak?

I never recommend NOT viewing your property, and also connecting with the agent via FaceTime, etc and finding a property manager / general contractor that is trustworthy.
