@John Yoo most Canadian investors I deal with use a multinational bank like Toronto Dominion that loan in the US to Canadian citizens.This avoids a lot of the complexity you are asking about.

Others aspire to building multinational real estate empires.

They rent units to house executives and visitors who visit the US office of a multinational corporation on a regular basis.

Even multinational successful ones.

This has also changed the feel of the neighborhood from being more boutique type of businesses to more multinational chains opening there .

Basically there are requirements under internal revenue code 1.482, that multinational corporations have to demonstrate the dealings are at arms length.

I speak a functional level of spanish and am particular interested in Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, and Spain, but ultimately would like to develop a multinationally diverse portfolio.

As for the companies I am buying I look for large multinational companies.

Employment will continue to rise.Inflation fueled by debt will be the greatest threat by end of the year, but I think we've seen this year that it's a delayed risk which the stock market/mortgage rates can overlook in the short run.In Atlanta, I think we'll see rents continue to rise sharply while new construction continues to spin up and non-investor buyers come back into the market.I think multi-national companies, domestic consumer goods/services, and foreign markets will outperform this year.Take this with a grain of salt.

It's much more direct than giving to a multi-national charity where you don't know where the money is going.That said, it's all about what makes you feel better.
