Banks are under pressure and regulations to prevent money laundering and terrorism funding so they are not going to make it easy for non-US citizens outside the country to open accounts.Most banks support wire transfers and some will let you set them up online. 

The PAL agent can really give you all the info about the encumbrances on the property and what liens stay and what are extinguished.Pretty much if it’s not a judicial sale you’ll owe senior liens like mortgages - so you’ve got to look out and make sure that the property your buying is actually being foreclosed by IRS or you’ll be responsible for paying the senior encumbrance and the senior can foreclose on you after your redemption period.

Try your senior citizens organizations, handicap support organizations, your building regs office will probably know who does this as well.Adding a ramp or rail now I don't see as an issue, John is an attorney and seems his thoughts should really be considered so you can sleep well.....

I'd say let the courts figure it out.I firmly believe that private citizens should not get intentionally involved in foreign affairs with malice intent on the internet.

I could have written that 30 years ago, had there been pc's, an internet and BiggerPockets.When I graduated in CA in '81 with my RE degree, interest rates, unemployment, and inflation were all in the 15-20% range, the S&L crisis was in full bloom, and I spent a good part of my senior year doing research projects for the local landlord association on how to defeat the local rent control initiative.After graduation, everyone said, "you wanna do what?

Hi @Jennifer CannonI'm also a US citizen currently living in Korea and I invested in Florida and have used a property management company as well.

If you are bidding on the most senior lien holder, i.e. the lien placed by the mortgagee, then junior liens are wiped out, except for IRS liens (IIRC) and possibly other liens placed by the state.

So I approached a couple of inspectors, and they are asking about ~$4-6K, but their proposal suggests that it's based on their senior engineer's visual inspection except one inspector using some sort of x-ray for asbestos.

Top senior person gets say 25k and junior agent at bottom gets 8,000.Me as a principal commercial broker with my own firm representing buyers I get it all.

I am only a senior in high school and plan on going to college because I want to be a physical therapist, however, after all of my school I will have around $60,000 in loans to pay off.
