Canadian investing in USA. LLC or personal name?
just like the title says should I purchase homes in my personal or under entities like an LLC.
I have read if I use an LLC I will get double taxed in the USA and in Canada
Does anyone know if this is true or not I am trying to find a CPA to help me with this
If anyone has a CPA who works on both sides of the Border let me know
thank you

LLCs do not exist in Canada and the CRA is apt to tax the income differently than you may anticipate.
Anyone you guys can suggest speaking to? I've called a few in my local area and I cannot find someone who has experience in the USA side.
Thanks.
