Which increases paperwork & costs for little benefit - if any.4) You'll need an entity in the US.You need to discuss all this with a qualified tax professional or attorney.- For our clients, we provide consultations with a tax attorney that handles over 300 foreigners legal & tax needs.

I'm about to stabilize a quad that is now cash flowing (after 8 months) because I appealed taxes (and won), got better insurance, and then renovated 3 of 4 units and brought rents up $300-$400.

I will not comment as to the tax laws and underlying rules - that is a discussion you can have with your tax advisor who presumably you are paying to help you.What I will do is provide practical and business guidance on tracking time.Firstly, there are apps available that can assist with time tracking where you can specifically detail your time, who you met with, etc.

Your ad should require "proof of income" not proof of employment.

Your loan will be $1,100 a month, add insurance and property tax.

I'll save you the details but...Per door cost: $63,300All in Cost: 700kTotal Revenue: 137k(ish) annuallyNOI: 65-73% (in the expenses we included: insurance, taxes, $75/month per door repair expense, management fee 8%, grass cutting, & a misc fund for random crap business license, etc.)Now...
