Does anyone have experience with option #2 and what the typical timeline for the process to apply to transact business in IL as a foreign corporation would be?

This client is a foreign national, not an issue for us but it does require an added effort because there is no social security number or credit score.

Thats a foreign language to me.

Possibly a foreign interest?

It may work out for me to continue to "upgrade" my studio-temple-castle.Then I want to move into "Wholesaling" opportunities, local & foreign, and then Buy-Hold-Rent when I have at least enough capital to have 50% equity or to be able to generate sufficient cash flow from an equivalent of 50% vacancy and large repairs.From here I want to quick jump to small commercial units (Apartments), and tropical (or at least sunny & warm 365 days/yr biking weather) Retirement Haven REI.Once I have sufficient income to be financially independent, with cash to spare to help family, then I'll devote all of my time to my Music and my Sadhana (Spiritual Practices).There's my business plan in a nutshell.

They have mtg programs for foreign buyers.

Personally I went to all those lectures, got an S-Corp + LLC and Foreign Filed to operate in Calif. 

For me, it's difficult for me to find lenders because I work abroad for a foreign company.

Account Closed I recall being told that foreigners could not purchase property in China.

Beyond scrubbing the walls + painting, pulling carpet, sanding and applying a few coats onto the hardwoods, do you all have any other tips/tricks or favourite things to do when re-habbing a unit - especially since she certainly smoked inside?
