foreign investors
Hello friends
My main interest right now is how to start investing in the US market with a 200k$ and the intention to leverage as max as possible.
The only way I figured so far when less then few millions, is through an LLC.
Then I wonder whether its relevant for residentioal or only connercial properties are relevant for LLC entity, since via LLC you cant deduct the VAT with residentials....
Any sense here, or can anyone inlight me please!!!
Best of wishes greetings to all!!

Hello @Aviv Green
Welcome to BP.
You are going to find it very difficult to get loans as a foreign newbie investor. Generally regular US banks wont look at you and HML want experience before they throw money at anybody. IMO flipping long distance is near impossible with enormous risk.
I think you need to define how active an investor you want to be , what risk you are prepared to bear and what returns you are realistically looking for.
If you are accredited I would recommend looking at crowdfunding opps. With the right DD, I have found them an excellent , more passive form of RE investing.
PM me if you would like to connect.
