I was just about to say this, if they can prove they have legal documentation for being in the United States 'temporarily', that is good enough for me to judge their character, since it's hard enough to obtain any type of Visa from a foreign country.

The one thing I never discriminate against is green US currency:)

Reading Robert K, and with your recent loss there is a new currency  I think you will be enjoying- time.  

maybe requiring the original SS card (or an original certificate from SSA for originals lost) will help weed out illegal residents in CA where we are not allowed to discriminate between citizens vs non-citizen residents nor make unreasonable demands for documentation ie ask a person with a strong accent for a passport in addition to their driver's license when we just accept a driver's license (or combination of driver's license and SSN as 'two forms of official ID') from other applicants without a foreign accent or whatever?

While one can argue it is speculative and may not be advisable, it is nonetheless a valid strategy. 2) For foreign investors, it's an indirect play on strength on US dollars.3) Sometimes real estate preserves values better than other more liquid assets (e.g. cash).

Also the practicalities of working remotely that too from a foreign country are very complex.

With Xero I was dealing with multiple currencies which became a complete nightmare and found a great accountant who sat down and walked me through it.If you find that this is too much work or too difficult you could easily give a bookkeeper a login for you account and they could take over.

A person who volunteers to defend your homeland against enemies foreign and domestic is not someone to fear.

All states require that you register as a foreign entity if you do business there, so the bulk of the benefits of out of state incorporation go out the window.  

Bryan Adams, Journey, Foreigner all good stuff.
