Investing as a foreigner

Bruno Morales
Posted

I want to start investing in real estate (buy and hold), been watching BP vids, reading their articles, , listening to the podcasts...

And my country (Argentina) is not only a terrible market as is, but also unreliable, bearish and an overall terrible investing decision.

But as a foreigner investing in the US many things like taxes, laws And capital raising probably have a lot of differences not being a local. Not being able to apply for a mortgage and depending on hard money being an example.

Has anyone had any issues or experience with investing in the US as a foreigner?

Any tips, dos and donts, more clarification on these differences?

Hi @Bruno Morales, the best way to do it is to create an LLC. That provides you with tax benefits and legal protection.

Financing can be tough, but there are foreign national loans that are available. They are similar to DSCR loans with no income, job, or credit check, if you do not have US credit.

If you would like more information or have any questions about financing for foreign nationals, feel free to reach out.
