I operate out of Nevada so have known of Anderson for many years.

And all those skills you going to have to learn and master in UK to get a property under control, operate it, market it, monetize, operate etc., ALL 100% translates to anything and everything you will do when back in US. 

We operate dozens of STR's around Austin.

If you can come in and operate effectively I think you'll find success rather quickly due to that.BTW - for a property management platform I would highly recommend Buildium.

(e.g. peace w/ Israel, gambling legalization, etc.)

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

For instance if Mr X was a successful franchise operator and was looking for someone to handle things that you wanted to have done and you found a fixer upper of a franchise.

Would that lower our tax liability from other income we receive or no because this is purely RE and not an operating business?

Property owners remain responsible for operations and maintenance, only because they retain full ownership.
