I also have questions about title and escrow companies, vtb, lawyers and accountants that deal with seller financing.

A well experienced real estate accountant will be a big help in your trip through the minefield. 

I hold the account in my name and grant them access – Would this create any liability for me?

My accountant's office called me the other day and let me know that I could amend my 2022 tax return and claim losses due to Hurricane Ian to a primary residence property and a investment property.

I would suggest making sure you don’t have any delinquent utility accounts or back rent.

The only downside is that you'll need an account, and they lock you into a contract.

Older homes in neighborhoods like Heights and Montrose are full of charm, character, and history, but may need some renovations.When navigating the market, it's important to partner with a local real estate agent, take into account rental market demand and rates, search for value-add chances, and learn about landlord-tenant laws.

Then separately you'd account for any fees paid for management, repairs management paid on your behalf etc 

My goal is to avoid doble taxation, ability to write-off expenses, asset protection and avoiding probate.If anyone can help me with this or refer to an accountant who has experience with cross border real estate transaction, I'll be greatly obliged.
