I don't think he can legally freeze assets. Just have a plan in place for liquidating assets in case you need to move.

Nothing happened yet. Stop getting paranoia by GAG sites. Read the actual order, it is not even that bad. This is my 3rd year on OPT, preparing myself for the third H1B lottery and Im not even that worry

Why? Even if we lost our jobs because of an executive order of his, we would still have time to transfer the money at that point right? Or do you think he'll go full retard and freeze our assets or something?

Nope it is all invested and will stay that way.

I actually moved all my savings to Pakistan in 2015. Not cuz of Trump, but cuz the return is higher and more stable over there. But I am more likely to keep it there now unless I'm investing in real estate here.

P4 how is the return more stable? Wait till Nawaz is fired for corruption AGAIN. Sigh. Been there, done that! 😝

I’ve got a partnership w/ two of my uncles. We have two houses on rent. we use the profit from the homes as a single pot where we pay for the maintenance expenses (different cash flow from each). We are close family and they trust my judgement. Another of my uncles wants to join for the next home we buy. How do we split/ allow their buy in to our partnership for the next home? I don’t wanna add extra accounting of maintaining expense/cash flow from the next one we buy as a larger group Thoughts?
