That would require having a US tax number...an ITIN if the individial is a foreigner according to the IRS.  

I should also mention this is my first investment property so the offer process is pretty foreign to me. 

Foreign investors also has something to do with it.

:@David Dachtera"The US is a laughing stock of the world."1) That is nothing more than the propaganda the Democrats wanted everyone to believe to dissuade folks from voting for Trump - an utterly failed attempt to intimidate those who might have been inclined to vote Trump, but it simply didn't work Full Stop.2) I've been all over the world many many times and I can assure you that no one is laughing, In fact, most foreign leaders went out of their way very quickly to congratulate Trump, and copiously so (including the Presidents of Mexico and China - the two countries with the most reason to potentially despise him).

bout fell out of my chair.. just a very foreign concept to me.Granted we build 5 THOUSAND new apartment doors a year here in PDX market and that's were all our renters go.Also I was commenting on another post about how new construction basically stopped in your area and that was correct.. takes a while to get it up and running . we were comparing Memphis to Vegasand PHX  well a huge portion of the renters in Vegas and PHX were sub trade contractors and when new construction like everywhere else came to a stop.. landlords found themselves with huge vacancys  apartments were lost.. 4 plexs completely vacant for a few years.my point was Memphis is a rental town has been will always be and is not subject to the whims on new construction and those that work in those trades.. your not going to have a ton of new construction when you can still buy existing homes for less than replacement costs..

I am looking for advise from people who have experience working with foreign investors, that can help me with: taxation issues, financing, what areas within the US to invest in etc..I have $100k US to invest and am open to looking at SF and small MF homes.Thanks for your time,Regards,Amin

- Are there generally any special implications in such a gifting case (domestic or foreign money)?

@Jeff Johnson - My understanding is that you need to register the LLC in VA as foreign entity with VA SCC. 

I've lived in five houses; only one had a thin carpet that was only installed--a decade earlier--for the foreign teachers.

Account Closed  I have only lived in Lake O and up on Cooper mtn.. so I still see Portlandia as a foreign entitiy.
