Thanks guys!
very helpful with the contacts, much appreciated.
First day in Atlanta right now, and about to head off to wells fargo….. 
speak soon.

haha thanks Tash72, yeah, so have I, but i guess it cant hurt to get over there once in a while to be updated….

Mattsa,
i would assume receipts are all thats needed seeing as i already own property there. The whole trip should be deductible as its the sole reason im going to the US.

Thanks ambosh,
i strongly agree, ideally i would prefer to finance the property in the states, although i have faced difficulties as a foreigner with irregular work patterns to get this. However, I will continue to look for finance in the states…

Thanks guys. The legal and accounting forum is a wealth of knowledge.
