(This is more typical with seniors) Convenience.

Check out the site for information and the meeting location, the Senior Center in Homewood.

As a foreigner, generally you are subject to a 30% tax rate, but there is an election that I always make for my foreigner clients that own rentals and the election allows you to be taxed based on marginal rates in the US.. same rates that apply to US citizens and residents.

Thanks Chad.Samuel I agree with Chad, the LLC structure that works for US citizens is typically not the most beneficial way for a Canadian to hold US property.

So what happens is when you have real damage that a private citizen endures they are the ones filing the complaints I have never seen a bulliten or anything from any of the 3 states I am licensed in about turning in wholesalers or anything like that..  

@Marcia Maynard I believe we have similar clients--seniors who are mostly on fixed incomes.

As a US citizen you're taxed on worldwide income, so if there is any gain or other income you report that in the US and a get a foreign tax credit for whatever you have to pay Belgium.

In the state where I use property management and cannot screen them myself, I've had issues with management not screening well, so after a lot of good ideas on forum posts here, I now require vet records to prove breed (to insure breed restrictions are met) and current shots, a K9 Good Citizen certificate (if they don't have one, the manager refers them to local testing), renter's insurance with minimum $100,000 liability and me listed as additional insured, proof of required city pet license, and the larger refundable security deposit.  

Given that you have three options;Foreclose on a senior mortgagePay the lien offNegotiate a better payoff for a lien release in some manner.In the last matter, I have found some liens to include false or exaggerated claims that could not be proven, in that the lien holder may have violated law in filing or claiming the debt, that can have consequences.

The property manager found me an insurance a couple of month late (because the houses were bought through a georgia corp. belonging to non US citizen) with a cost above expectation.
