foreigner investing in U.S, what are the tax issues?

[Vivian C]

Hello everyone,

I'm thinking of investing in the U.S for the next 10 years. It will span from SFR to Multi-family to even commercial in the future; and will mainly be buy-hold-rent. I don't have legal resident in the U.S so mostly will be doing this from overseas.

So I'd like to think ahead and know how I should work this plan in terms of tax and legal issues. I read on the IRS that if one opens a LLC and fill a form then the withholding limit doesn't apply. But maybe there other potential troubling issues with LLC.

If any foreign investor here or anyone who had worked with a foreign investor could advice on this? thanks.
