Foreign private lender
I have an opportunity to work with a foreign private lender. They are not U.S. citizens and don't have a business here in the U.S. Does anyone with experience know what would be the best approach? Should they create an LLC here in the U.S. or would they be able to lend as foreigners? Please advise. Thank you very much.

Yes, they need to be set up in the US before they can lend. We have partners who are foreign investors. DM me and I will send you contacts for; attorneys, lenders, and accountants that they have previously used. It is important that you hire professionals that have experience working with foreign investors.
