@Daniel Okorie thanks for the encouraging info.  

Probably don't take the vehicle or a court will assume it is to pay for the rent (you just want something as collarteral AND encouragement for them to pay). 

Experts will come out of the woodwork with their opinions and advice.I encourage you to get active in the forums.

It makes sense that if the seller offers the tenant to buy the house and tenant declines then I would assume the only question is how long the tenant has on the remaining lease term--i.e. they can probably stay until the lease ends or may be encouraged to find another property to transfer their voucher to.It is amazing how DC has managed to increase the complexity of the rental housing market with these programs.

I hope this thread clarifies and makes for an easier understanding on this subject, your votes are welcomed and encouraged, lets see if we can get 20!

I highly highly HIGHLY encourage you to work with a professional who is versed in entity and tax structuring for internationals buying US real estate.

I know this is in large part due to the strong Denver market, but pricing a property correctly is also a huge component.Just remember, without the MLS (at least in our market), you are only exposing your property to a small percentage of potential buyers - multiple offers = strong negotiation platform.

I've found that they don't repel mice as well as advertised, though it has reduced the spider population (I've only seen two inside the house this year).Another alternative is to encourage the tenant to clean with a peppermint based soap.  

Colleen,Some would encourage you to diversify your portfolio into a number of different currencies others might suggest precious metals.

That's a lot of time spent.If the platform can help with that issue then it would be really interesting.
