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?

However, a personal favourite option of mine is to use a company to hold the properties.

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.

If you have the entity set up first then you stand a chance of having the deal close in the business name (and recorded on the title).Assume that the business will have to be in OH or if you set the business up out of state you will have to register a foreign entity in OH.Lenders in OH who lend locally will expect a local business address and other details.

However, northwest San Antonio is exploding with growth, most of the buyers being wealthy foreigners from Mexico, its as if the subprime slime doesn't even phase the Austin and San Antonio markets, I love seeing even 8-12% /year gains on this current slowdown where Glendale, California people are selling 50-60 K below market value just to be able to sell.
