Hello,I am wondering if anyone knows the answer to this, I am a Canadian citizen with many single family houses that I own in my Florida LLP, I am currently using the structure of paying taxes from the the profits from the LLP flow thru into my personal name, paying taxes in Florida and then having to pay the difference in taxes in Canada ( minus the amount I paid in Florida as a foreign tax credit).  

Your New York LLC is considered a "foreign" LLC to Pennsylvania.

This is public info and usually it will change based on seller being there a long time or something like an elderly tax rate.What are insurance costs like (we've got a lot of local variability around fire insurance for ex.)?

Franky,You would use a Foreign National or DSCR loan for buying a property in the US while in Canada. 

I have never heard of them but it seems to be a lender offering foreign national loans?

@Shawn Smith we've got several clients from Toronto and also Vancouver.So, we've got referrals for experienced tax attorneys, CPA's, etc. for Canadians and foreigner investors in general.What are you purchase criteria?

Owning properties through LLCs in their respective states avoids the need to register a foreign LLC, which adds costs and administrative requirements.If you plan to acquire properties across multiple states, you could create a parent LLC in Florida and have individual property-specific LLCs (child LLCs) in each state.

I know the IRS asks about entity vs personal members and if they're foreign or not specifically on the 1065 and other tax forms. 

I mean they get done but its so foreign to what I am used to.

In that situation, I personally would not be investing in direct real estate at all.If I wanted exposure to a foreign real estate market, I would invest passively and hire a manager that has years more experience than I could ever hope to gain, and whose job is to supervise and watch everything and make sure that it goes well.Just my $0.02.And whatever you decide to do: good luck.
