Hi Guys

solomon things have changed a bit in the USA since sept 11 , getting bank accounts is certainly one area.

I don’t know how you can get a SS number – i’d love one ,it would be so handy but as Richard said you don’t need on for finance , you don’t even need a ITIN,

I have a number of US loans and no SS number.

The only restrictions on buying property is large parcells of land

Hi Solomon

The questions you ask are very complicated to answer quicky on a forum. Firstly i’m not a Lawyer and i can only tell you what attorneys and others in the US have told me. You need to check if what i say is correct.

How can anyone say that the market…[Read more]
