Questions for Arizona purchase

[Owen Brown]

I am a Canadian citizen looking to purchase a rental property in Arizona. I have a couple of lenders that are going to look at it and I do not need a seasoned LLC. I have the following questions I would love some advice on:

1. Would you recommend I use an Arizona lawyer, or does it matter which state they are located in as long as they are licensed in Arizona?

2. Any specific lawyer recommendations?

3. Should I start the LLC in Arizona or are there better states to start it in? The lenders say it can be from another state.

Thank you for you input.

@Owen Brown Hello from a fellow Canadian! We were living in Calgary when we started investing in Arizona. We didn't start with an LLC but did so afterwards and now all of our rentals are in them. We are Scottsdale residents, green card holders, investors and I'm a Realtor now. Getting an Arizona LLC made up is easy but if you want a great lawyer referral who can take care of everything contact Stanley Bronstein - he's an attorney and CPA!! , www.thecpalawyer.com and let him know I referred you. :)
