This happens all the time - considerations are:(1) Size of their per diem fee for their standard stay;(2) Size of their per diem fee for holding over;(3) Insisting they maintain their regulation insurance and obtain renter's insurance;(4) Making sure agreement classifies them as licensees not tenants;(5) Making sure to have an agreement they will cover your legal fees if you have to bring litigation to remove them;(6) Size of their security deposit;(7) Extent of their responsibility for damages during their use and occupancy.Obviously, proceed with caution if the seller is sketchy just like you would with any other individual.

Interests of Foreign Countries; Prohibiting governmental entities from knowingly entering into certain contracts; authorizing the Attorney General to bring a civil action; providing penalties; requiring government entities to require an affidavit from applicants before providing any economic incentive; prohibiting foreign principals from purchasing agricultural land, or having more than a de minimus indirect interest in such land, and certain real property in this state, respectively; authorizing foreign principals to continue to own or hold such land or property under certain circumstances, etc.We'll see where this goes...lots of discussions....I've really only heard 4 countries talked about China, North Korea, Cuba, Iran....and probably limiting that to agricultural purchases.Not sure how many North Koreans are buying agricultural land, but Chinese have (6666 Ranch in Texas supposedly), Saudi has in AZ.
