US citizen, and I remember reading somewhere after 2007 anyone who's held a US green card for more than 6 months, have to pay taxes internationally on any sources of income, including property like houses. I believe it's 4% tax overall.

I've read on expat forums people renouncing their US citizenship and having a hard time getting the consulates to accept it, some have even had their passports mailed back to them.
