To be able to minimise the withholding {US} & dividend {Cdn} taxes and control the timing of earnings repatriation you should explore using an U.S.A. incorporated entity which is a child subsidiary (100% owned) of a Canadian corporation.

The SEC is now conducting an investigation of Bank of America and two of its subsidiaries for defrauding investors in 2008 through the sale of $855 MM in toxic, residential mortgage-back securities.

@J scott, Bill Gulley , is generally correct; however, there are situations where a management company and such are paying a salary and the subsidiaries pay the management company.It must properly be accounted for.

@Paul Crowson I have not used them yet, but sparkrent.com allows you to accpet payment for $1 per transaction and is a subsidiary of Intuit - so at least it's not some fly-by-night or under-resourced company presumably..My tenants use money orders instead of checks though, so I don't know how well this would work for my tenants.. but if they're already paying online, shouldn't be tought at all.

Has anyone ever dealt with V & V Real Estate Associates or their subsidiary Rental 4 Income in Tampa Fl?

Sometimes this is difficult to locate, as the banks may transfer their REO to a special-purpose subsidiary with a unique name.

Accounting is as a subsidiary account.There is no public lending going on, it's a customary business practice for one department to debit and credit other department accounts.

Last week Colony American Homes (a subsidiary of Colony Capital) 'postponed' its IPO due to "market conditions".

Blackstone subsidiary Invitation Homes, which since first buying here in August has spent an average of more than $800,000 a day.

I assume I will eventually have to create a subsidiary company from my real estate business in the US to operate here.
