Also you could try to find members of a university organization like Greek life or some members of a soccer team etc.  

So we then  painted the whole joint, repaired the rotted fascias, replaced the ancient AC/heater, new pool pump equipment, new concrete driveway to replace the crumbling asphalt, new landscape, updated bathrooms (resurfaced shower, nice, new cabinets/sinks, but off Craigslist), more new flooring extended throughout the entire house... even some upgraded pool furniture and a nice BBQ outdoor kitchen as we were told we are in a high end area that requires these types of amenities. 

My tenants were a bit freaked out, naturally.Turns out, some scammer apparently pulled my info from an ancient Craig's List ad I'd posted years ago, and created a dummy ad at mynewplace dot com.

Does anyone know of any requirements that would be specific to Greek nationals regarding investing in U.S. real estate? 

Comps in the area of other duplexes are $340 to $380Do you negotiate on wear & tear or outdated things like ancient carpet, no dishwasher, old patio doors?

I live in Santa Clara and am software consultant by profession so most of the real-estate jargons are greek at this point.But I am willing to learn, and was wondering if a 3 months course for a real-estate agent license makes sense even if I really don't want to make that my primary profession (I am told it does not pay very well :).Investments are a different game for sure.

I use the term "I" loosely because I had a lot of help.But that's ancient history. 

please don't dredge up ancient threads to respond to?

Found a guy who does a lot of hotels, but the guy looks ancient.

maybe its some sort of ancient philosophical exercise
