All our meetups that I personally attend. 

Don't know where your rental property is, but in Florida, we have a statute that deals with death of last remaining tenant and the procedures to follow to allow the landlord to take possession of the property and dispose of the tenants personal property.

I checked with my realtor, who also checked with her broker and they felt that the personal contents transfer to the new owner of the property at settlement.I realize that I'm standing my ground over a $200 lawn mower, but feel like if they were given the items, they should've been removed in the months prior to the owner I purchased the property from listed it for sale and also settlement. 

I am in Indiana as well, in our situation, it did not make any difference on our taxes if we left it in our personal name or transferred into an LLC. 

Personally I refuse to deal with any of the large banks, (Wells, BofA, Chase) and prefer to deal with smaller regional banks or credit unions.

If a person is already investing in the U.S. and then invests overseas they dilute their cross leveraging potential.  

Its a personal decision for sure.

,My stable consists of:1982 Mercedes-Benz 300D Turbodiesel - 27mpg regularly, few repairs, 192k miles, low insurance1998 Mercury Mountaineer, 16mpg, reliable so far. 130k miles2001 Mercedes-Benz E320 21mpg, reliable, 115k miles.My personal favorite is the 82; my costs are so low and it keeps me from speeding.

I had hoped this land could be both my personal home and an investment but after being there some time the sound pollution is too much for me.

As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio.
