FIRPTA withholding requirements may come into play, depending on how the ownership is structured, so make sure that you address this issue when speaking with your tax/legal advisors so that you know what you will be confronted with upon exit/sale/exchange off the properties.

I confronted the guy and he seemed to think he was doing me a favor.
