I think this is getting really serious and anyone that thinks our foreign policy is working is absolutely nuts.

I am a foreigner living in the States and only established credit three years ago when I purchased a new car with financing.

Since about the end of 2011, and well into the first quarter of 2012, trustee sales are being overrun with greedy bidders representing hedge funds and foreign buyers.

Good thing to know now than put someone in there who screws up sticking his foot in his mouth with foreign leaders in world affairs.

So can a foreign individual without SS# serve as the trustee?

I agree that Biden took it but by a few hairs really, Ryan had an outstanding performance and served his base, Biden was correct on foreign affairs (war areas) more so than Ryan and the domestic areas.

There are a couple lenders that I know of that entertain working with foreign nationals or non perminant residents on loans like that.I'd love to hear about the investments you've done in France.

I am looking to buy investment properties in WNY and finding it hard as a non resident alien to source a mortgage for several reasons:1 The amount I want to borrow at any one time is only around $30K-$50K - ie to a lender, not really enough to justify the extra exposure to a foreigner.2.

Maybe that is too strong but here is the logic.An OH company has to be the owner or a foreign company (PA LLC) needs to register in OH before it can do business.

There are small additional fees for translation services, foreign corporation registration and similar items, but nothing that I think you would call extravagant.
