Buyer requested and was granted an extension of the contract and switched title company.(4) Second title company took a very long time--past closing date--to issue a decision to NOT insure title, due to outstanding lawsuits against the prior owning entity filed in a "foreign" court, (neighboring Maryland county).

It does frustrate me how homeaway / verbs nickel and dimes credit card and foreign transaction fees in your final payout.

I also have a friend that works at a bank that could get you a foreign national loan in the 5% interest range to help you out.

Commercial loans are typically easier to get even for foreign nationals, self employed, or retired people.One option is to go bigger and bring in a partner to sign on loans: this is called a Key Partner (KP), or sometimes a deal/loan sponsor.

You are right that if you created a UT LLC, you would need to register it as a foreign LLC in California and pay the $800 minimum tax to CA. 

For ex: Asking price is $500kI offer $512k with $12k seller concessions.Seller will get $512k, have to mark $12k as a debit to me on the HUD-1 and pocket $500k, which is the original price they want.I make a downpayment based on the total purchase price of $512k.IMO you can use it in any market. 

With this will be the dismantling of the ubiquitous U.S. presence throughout the world in the form of 1) global military bases, 2) satellite regimes propped up with 'foreign aid,' and 3) wars and other covert activities to promote U.S. interests.What concerns me with the dismantling of the U.S. empire is that other interests (most particularly our largest creditor) will fill the void through military escalation, leapfrogging the U.S. in naval capabilities, and will begin to exert its muscle just as the U.S. recedes.

For me, Pheonix is as foreign as Loveland... or Fayetteville, NC.

(a health, environmental, public nuisance and waste, liability among others issues,)Even if the lease doesn't directly disallow a business from R-1 there will be in contract something addressing tenant's responsibility to protect the landlord property , not creating waste, commit public nuisance, or damage.I would have no problem to a good, responsible tenant for use the residence address for ex. handyman or plumber since he does not physically conduct his business from the home, and all his tools might be in his truck or rented storage, but I still would make sure that I am not being liable for loss, damage to his tools...and request he has a rental insurance, compliance with city regulations.Conducting online seminars is not the same as doing a hair extension, or running car repairs shop from R-1.  

There are several ways these foreign candidates can pay their deposits to you - depending on where they are located.One of the most universal, though most expensive for both the transferor and transferee is a wire transfer from their bank to yours.
