if you ever travel out of the US.. you may end up in a place like Singapore...

and no business class tickets to Singapore would be added to that list !!!

The non-resident then can pay himself through interests on a loan he made to the company or through dividends, which will be taxed by the US and his local country.Other countries (Singapore, Hong Kong) tax their residents on income arising on its territory, so in this case, it is efficient to own real estate directly or through a fiscally transparent LLC, and just pay income tax in the US.The rate could go anywhere between 0% and 45% but will be generally low.You can PM me to share information on tax treaties between different countries and the US. 2) yes3) you could look into trusts and companies4) depreciation is 1/27.5 per year.

It is a great Idea.I would call this a gross-root level changes that we would be heading into...Phenomenal approach to bringing Value addition...if only we can get these Real Estate Agents to believe in themselves and their investment partners.I will sure go through your writing and will put out a word to my network in Singapore.

It has been around for a while in Europe and other countries in Asia, such as Japan and Singapore.

@Chris Chang - I see from your profile you invest in rent-to-own - I would be keen to know more if possible please, as I am interested to do it here....what percentage of your real estate assets is rent-to-own?

And by default because of this phenomenon of Turn Key investing were the owners of these companies take the product to the West and East coast and to Austrialia and Hong Kong and London and Singapore... those opportunities are sold to investors that are really least equipped to handle these type's of assets right out of the gate. 

I know Singapore has had several, Germany, I believe Frances and Netherlands. 

Anywhere in the world, especially in Asia, the price of real property is skyrocket as a hedge and safe investment to a rising gov. printing money/inflation/etc.Ten years ago average people can still buy houses in California,Shanghai, Mumbai,Singapore, Jakarta,London.
