Starting out from abroad

[Stephen Nulty]

Hi guys,

I've been following BP for some time now and often thought about investing in America. I'm currently in Scotland, UK, however I've previously lived in Georgia and have been to many states. 

I'm looking to start investing in America so I can build up an income that may allow me to love there on a more permanent basis. 

I've been investing in UK since 2002 and have a small portfolio here. Although the strategies in both countries are similar the execution and management seem to quite different. 

Can you help me find out where I should start in my international investment journey?

What professionals should I be speaking with and what are the best places to set up an LLC for the investing?

Any other advice is welcome. 

Thanks in advance.

Stephen
