I have no substantive advice on the matter, but I do love reading these respectful debates from both sides of the argument - for the sake of mental aerobics - where the objective is to find the most cost-effective solution to increase efficiency in an increasingly efficient "inefficient market" Here's another idea to the OP - get a more fuel efficient car to go see property, so it costs you $13, not $15!

In fact, I think I will ultimately come up with a solution that is win-win.

If that concerns your investors they should talk to an international tax lawyer, but a possible solution (this is not a tax or a legal advice, just my experience) is that they should create a domestic (Rumanian) entity that in turn will be the one you will partner with in the US.

I had since moved on to find another solution, and forgot about it.On 10/8, I received an email from their customer support group, which was a response to my email to them on 9/25

Their solution was to raise the down payment to 3.5 , increase the upfront fee, and then hit you with insurance they keep making go up higher and higher.

I guess I need to find a way to bridge the short term financing "gap" and find solutions for the long-term problem (and I think you've suggested a decent solution).Thanks.

More "hoops" to jump through but could possibly be a solution. 

Many of us service investors all over the U.S. and we supplement meetings with various technology solutions.

They are just situations in search of a solution, and the people that find solutions get wealthy while those that have "problems" vote for people like Obama, Bernie, and Hillary.
