Lori,As a former college foreign exchange student I like the advice from some of the others to contact the international department at the local universities and try to work a deal with them on a short term lease for their international students.

While I know working with cash is tempting, It is the currency of our country and it must be accepted.

(2) Landlord will NOT pay to repair the following items unless caused by Landlord’s negligence: (a) conditions caused by Tenant, an Occupant, or any guest or invitee of Tenant; (b) damage to doors, windows, and screens; (c) damage from windows or doors left open; (d) damage from wastewater stoppages caused by foreign or improper objects in lines that exclusively serve the Property;I assume the toilet was working fine when the tenants moved in and at the stoppage is just located in the toilet, then this is something that was caused by the tenant or a guest and at the tenants responsibility.The only time we would charge an owner for clog is if the sewer line is collapsed and is usually evident by roots or mud in the line.If the sewer line is fine and any clogs are deemed the tenants responsibility.

But all hope is not lost as there are stragglers who have complications due to study abroad, foreign students, didn't graduate, etc. 

I worry about areas that have attracted too much attention and therefore competition from institutional investors and foreign investment (namely from China).  

Also, if you are creating a non-CA LLC, then you will need to register each as a "foreign" LLC in California. 

There's a nominal fee for filing as a foreign entity doing business in SC (a couple hundred $$ I think).

One of the options we looked at was registering in one of the "business-friendly" states, like Nevada or Wyoming, and then registering as a foreign LLC in AZ.

One of the plans is to line up foreign investors.

Hi,I wonder if any CPA can help shed some light on this situation:If a green card holder with foreign assets want to buy a home in the US, what are the tax implications if he/she transfers money state side for a down payment on the house?
