Eh I don't care its legal all over now.. but if they have a 550 fico and cant explain it ( like it happened because of 08 to 2010 that's a problem) also non payment of support for kids.. don't want to do business with any of those dead beats LOL.. you know what I am saying.. 

I have a military relocation professional designation so I am comfortable dealing with unique military situations. 

If you been filing US tax returns while in Japan (legally you should have) then even with a lower credit score you could possibly get a loan. 

They have no legal obligation to compromise on the assessed amount, as far as I know.

I read that airbnb is in grey area in california with legalities changing every day, so that's my concern.

.- Logo designed and color palette chosen for consistency and professional look- Facebook and Instagram biz pages put in place- I am a graphics designer and created templates for coming soon, new listing, etc online ads using chosen color scheme- Website created (no IDX due to no money :-) )- Door knocking on 100 doors and left flyers I designed.

They will help you learn how to do it the legal way! 

I'm now a licensed real estate agent with Exit Realty Metro (MN) and Homestead Realty (WI)) I am by no means rolling in cash (and proudly enjoy Sports Clips haircuts and obsessing about airline miles for my vacations) but real estate has helped me catch up on my retirement savings and provides a nice second source of income, which helps me stress less about taking on as many clients in my day job (or charging those clients a ton of money).My day job: I’m a political consultant that has managed campaigns, led field programs, designed trainings, or consulted on over 50 campaigns in 18 US states and 8 countries.

Wait until they show up with contract in hand, otherwise take the free publicity of the property.Just my 2 cents and not legal advice.

Generally speaking all parties with an interest in the property have to either agree on what to do or take legal action to force things to happen.
