Enclose the property with a wall and Live in it paying council tax for a period exceeding 12 years, during that time you must prove you have tried to contact the owner and pay rent, if after 12 years the true owner has not asked for posession or rent then you are allowed to APPLY for the title to be transferred to you. this however is fraught with difficulty.\n\nthis cannot be done if any part of the land is classified as common land or has a public right of way passing through it or there is any secured borrowing on the property.\n\nther is NO such thing as squatters rights and you must be carefull not to break and enter or cause damage to the property as this will invalidate any future claim for transfer of title.\n\nPlease note that if you do sucees in transferring title to you it can still bel claimed back from you by the european court..\n\nDont bother trying unless you know the real owner doesnt want it. if ther is NO owner legally it belongs to the crown and you cant  transfer title from the crown under this method

To obtain work in Italy it is necessary to obtain both a residence permit and a worker registration card, rather than a visa. The Italian work permit application process must be begun by the company in Italy that hires the worker. The Italian work permit cannot be applied for by either the employee or a recruiting firm or a job agency.

sure - millions have!!!\n\nA foreigner can own land in Mexico as long as the land is more than 50 kilometers from the "Federal Zone," a strip of land reaching 20 meters inland from the high tide line along the ocean borders of Mexico, and more than 100 kilometers from the land borders of Mexico.\n\nA foreigner cannot own land in Mexico if the land is less than 50 kilometers from the Federal Zone, or less than 100 kilometers from the land borders. These restrictions apply to most of Baja California!

Generally it really takes one or the other. Also buying land is even a little trickier than buying a house. Its tough to get land financed since there is really nothing used as collateral. So usually it requires a bigger down payment. Having said that some other options might be to check out your local courthouse and find out if there are any tax sales in areas you might consider. These properties are behind on taxes and get auctioned off to the highest bidder for usually significantly less than market value. Also drive around and inquire about run-down properties, research owners, or find buy-owner properties. Working with an individual person might get you a deal you can handle. But try to save up for a down payment because without good credit, money is the only talker left.

1) Yes\n2) The easiest way would be to rent your property to a Non Resident Alien and he will pay with CASH and you don't have to report anything.\n\nI asume you mean a house.\nIf you are buying commercial property then you won't be able to do it that way unless the business owner is also a Non Resident Alien.\n\nWhere is your property?

Make a trip to these countries and get to know some buyers in person (of course after taking appointment) which will easily impress the buyer. No one otherthan the stakeholder can do a good job. Believe me its my experience.

I live in Mexico and I am realtor and have been for 16 years and I sell to many foreigners and all property here is in a non restricted area. What you have been told by this notary is not true -.there is no 25% fee. Foreigners own the property outright if purchased in their name. The only requirement is foreigners have to apply for a permit to buy. Buyer has to pay the notary his fees which can vary from 1% to 2% of the purchase price. Please add details to your question - I would like to know what the 4.3% fee is for\nADDED NOTE:\nNone of my clients or other realtors' clients that I know of have had to pay a sales tax or a registration fee The registration is included in the fee paid to the notary. It is customary for the seller to pay the realtor's 6% commission but that is sometimes negotiable. You should deal with a different notary. The only fee buyer has to pay is that for the permit to buy. I can be emailed - see my profile.

This sounds like time-shares. Personally I would never buy property in a foreign country let alone with a group of people.  Unless you have money to throw away. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, most likely it is. And if living cheaply is what you're looking for, there are many places right here in the good USA where you can do that. Or if living in a third-world country is appealing to you, that too we offer---Try Mississippi, Alabama,  Oklahoma, New Mexico, Los Angeles and New york city.

The best and safest way to bring a large sum of money into the country legally is by wire transfer, bank to bank. Wire transfer itself constitutes the declaration. However, for tax purposes and to avoid investigations to detect money laundering, you should have the proof of liquidating the properties in the country from where the money is held.

First you will have to have KEY money. Rent is not the same in Korea unless you fortunate to find a home near a military post with a landloard willing to rent in Western standards. Key money ranges from 40,000 us dollars or about 4 million won. This money is placed in a interest bearing account. You do not pay monthy the interest goes to the landloard. When your lease is up he checks the apartment lems and if all is well he returns the whole amount when you leave minus the interest. I did this twice with no problem I have however heard of horror stories. If your Korean you can place a legal lean if the landloard will not return the money but you will have some issues with deed ownership as a non Korean. I can give you other advice but for apartments thats the best I can give. One point that may seem discouraging housing is extremly short. If your military you will be taken care of. If not you may need to have a contingency plan (staying in hotel for 2-3 months) the standards for size of apartment are very differant emagine your living room is your entire apartment. There are western standard housing but you will pay 2-3 times the market value of the states example 1000 sg ft apartment locally 680.00 dollars in Korea you would need at least 250,000 key money for compable. Bite the bullet and do as the romans as they say. Its a fun and eye opening experince..onr other thing Korea is a advanced country by far not a 3rd world country the technology is year beyond the US. 90-95% people love everyone. (not just Americans) they will feed you yakimando, Bulgogi and rice, and many other...Now I am hungery...I am in Iraq now and mis Tungdushun.

It is possible to own property in many countries. Best thing to do is find a real estate attorney in the country where you want to buy this house. It will cost you alittle bit more, but you will know that you are following the rules.
