Or is there is a special place to do this test ?

:laugh:

How in the world would you know what to expect at this point? You signed up for a $200,000 mortgage for an apartment in another country that you've never seen in person without reading the paperwork. Who knows what else your family has roped you into?

I knew I had to get a medical check, but not for HIV.

I agree, a freaking HIV test. I did test for this before I came to the states, but not again ... damnit.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL did you expect support from good 'ol ATOT?

Morocco must be one of the nicest places in the world to live, not to mention they have a Diesel Factory somewhere near by.

It sure is a nice place to be. I miss it, way too much... I can't wait to go back to visit, which is in at least another year :(

You know this how?

that is the nice option...otherwise this dude could not be described.

If my parents signed me up for a mortgage/lease without me knowing you can be sure I wouldn't be happy about it posting pics of their new joint.

Actually in S.

Some of these places I would never live (police blotter shows almost daily break ins)

Now they are rerenting them and owners are pissed.

So you can in theory buy an apartment, although most are and always are condos.

Either that or qualifies for pwnage of 2008.

Just look at the situation laid out in the first post. WTF would allow themselves to fall into this?

If it's not shens, someone needs to cut the apron strings of steel quick hte largest pair of bolt cutters they can find.

I can't believe no one else has asked this yet, but how can you get a mortgage in a Muslim country, what with the Islam strictly forbidding interest as unholy and all? :shocked:
