Switzerland does impose some restrictions on foreign and non-residents buying property but you can still buy and several members of my family actually own property there.

I offered to buy the property from the $28B foreign company which kept them from having to tear down the buildings to mitigate the vagrant problem and also from their obligation to pay the rail road for the long term lease.

Mind you, with mortgage interest rates in the US being so much higher now (and seemingly for the foreseeable future), I wouldn't be surprised if LTRs in Europe would cash flow better than in the whole US nowadays (to be verified).This being said, I don't and would never invest in LT rentals outside of North America  as I wouldn't want to face unfavourable landlord/tenant laws as a foreigner.

A person who has spent his 2000 to 4000 minimum CPA practice hours doing foreign currency conversions at Deloitte for a Belgian energy company may not know the first thing about real estate or anything else.

You are now a foreign entity doing business in CA since YOU run the business from there so Cali wants their $800 either way.So whether you need a REI tax pro is all open to interpretation.

However, I am seeing more interest in MTR's and have a colleague that does well buying condos and renting out to traveling medical workers and foreign exchange students.  

We travel for work (healthcare) and chronically live out of MTRs, so it will be our first time operating a shorter term, but won’t be an entirely foreign situation to us.

Having lived there a year it is a foreign country and many things are different and culture etc plus you have the native peoples that own huge amounts of real estate and They dont pay income tax and they get food and gas for way cheaper etc etc..

If you have any questions about Foreign National financing, feel free to connect.

The insurer should be licensed either as a foreign insurer in another state in the United States or as a non-United States (alien) insurer.
