@Mark HafnerI've been investing internationally for many years but it's very difficult to answer the kind of questions you ask without writing a dissertation so I'd encourage you to ask more precise questions in the forum.

Honestly I never know precisely, as I'm constantly buying and selling, and frankly I neither know or care.

Precisely!

More to the point of your post, the agreement of sale should have language detailing precisely how the escrow funds are released to buyer or seller.

The tenant will most likely talk nonsense and show the judge precisely who they are.Send the judgment to a collection agency, along with all supporting documentation.

In the end, the investor is responsible for making good, informed decisions and for knowing precisely what their needs are as investors.  

Draft precise agreements outlining loan terms, manage risk by diversifying investments, and build relationships with real estate professionals.

If you could be more precise, you will get better responses. 

This deal reaffirmed the value of speed and precision.

If you are going to acquire these properties using some type of financing its best to begin mortgage planning ahead of time so you can execute with the best precision.
