I would start by contacting the senior manager and asking "What would it take for me to be released from the contract?"

Not sure on the Canadian side but as a dual citizen and having closed a few transactions for Canadian investors state side in Oregon this year, they were pretty amazed at how far their investment went here and how surprisingly strait-forward Foreign National lending is/was even without a SS#.

My sister is in a senior living facility, and they decided to raise the rent 10% next year.

Hey all, I am currently a high school senior and want to get a start with real estate investing.

If you were a U.S. citizen.  

Seniors going to school 1/2 days.  37 degrees, sunny and no wind.

I'm sure I'm having a senior moment and am doing something dumb. 

as you know....And it used to be a lot easier also.We used to be able to go to the Dept. of Transportation and get a copy of drivers licenses, which of course have addresses, as well as DOB.We even got non-driving ids from the DOT.We used to get new postal addresses from the PO for $1 each.We used to get birth and death certificates from the Bureau of Vital Statistics.We used to be able to get letters to prisoners.We used to be able to inquire if a senior citizen was a resident of a specific nursing/retirement home"USED TO" is the key phrase.

This was done to protect senior citizens on fixed incomes from being forced to sell their homes due to unaffordable property tax increases.Since the passing of this amendment, all properties in Michigan have two property tax values associated with them:State Equalized Value (SEV): supposedly equal to 50% of the market value of a property, not based on recent sales price.Taxable Value: the SEV annually capped as long as there is not a transfer of ownership.City Assessors are charged with determining how much property values have changed each year.
