How does a out of country investor get a tax ID

Hi,

I am in the process of purchasing property in Atlanta and I am an out of country investor. I am purchasing a rental investment SFH. I have 3 questions:

1) How do I acquire a US tax ID as an individual ?

2) For only one SFH in which I will rent do you recommend an LLC or safe to keep in individual name? What exactly is my liability as an owner? Might be a long list...

3) Can I use my online brokerage account as my account to send rent payments and wire money to Property manager? It is the Bank of Omaha that is used throuh them.

Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,

It would be in your best interest to contact a real estate attorney in the Atlanta area and ask them these questions. They would be able to help you out and make sure you're protected. Sorry I cant be more help.
