I've read alot books and been scouring this site...the books all cover all the different team members for investing...however, I am still not clear on order of engagement. 

You should engage a CPA familiar with international taxation, especially since you seem to live abroad and are contemplating investing in foreign companies.Generally yes, a foreign corporation that holds and rents real property would be a PFIC...however a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) is statutorily excluded from being a PFIC and is subject to a different set of rules.

I use the State LL association for leases, networking and screening-be sure and on social media too.

US, regardless of immigration status" quote from an article by Jo Becker, Education/Outreach Specialist, Fair Housing Council of Oregon in an article titled screening without Social Security Numbers: there Are Options!

I would also add the following1)  allow new comers a chance to socialize and be well received by others often times, many new investors wether to Real Estate Investing or the general area.

I already like BP better than any other social media outlet!

I want ONE MESSAGE with having the user connect and engage to effect an action.
