Houses are sold online nowadays, properties managed online too along with receipt of rents. Landlords, real estate investors have gained DTVS from the London Embassy. If they show how they work online, should not be a problem getting one in NY.

Yes definitely the best as it’s where you are based, easier in your own Country but let’s not talk about the oddball in Orange

I knew of one great Irish young man, he was in a job dealing with foreigners. He rented me a great place in BKK. Sukhumwit +, 2007.

He told me, he was employed with that real estate agency to deal with foreigners.
