It doesn’t matter if your aware or not.

I’ve been wondering that same thing.Seems to me when comparing candidate investments, why would I pay more for an investment with risk and work (5% Cap multifamily), than a risk-free passive investment (5% CD or T-Bill).Note that going from a cap rate of 5% to 10% is a 50% drop in price…that’s significant…easy to see why a seller isn’t willing to give a higher return.I’ve asked the question before and gotten answers like it’s because investor borrowing costs vary, and you must consider future rent growth and appreciation … I guess if you have low borrowing costs and are optimistic about the future a 5% cap rate makes sense.

The FL statute was change a few years ago; now the same entity acting as bene can also serve as T/ee.

Am I violating any L/T laws by answering this way?

If you have paid the overseas lender 5% and didn´t withhold anything, the IRS will still want that 30% when tax returns are being filed.As long as they are in a country with a double taxation agreement with the US, then they should not have to pay the same taxes twice, but again, it depends on their location and personal situation and both borrower and lender should seek professional confirmation.
