I've invested in the US from Canada, hardest part is probably financing.I have not used financing in the US because the property I bought was too cheap to get a mortgage on.I know some Canadian lenders have US subsidiaries but when I reached out to them on a bigger deal I never got any answers.Also, if investing remotely, you need reliable/trustworthy people to manage your properties otherwise you're in for a looooong ride.I'd be curious to see what the above poster has to offer for foreigners and what the restrictions are.

A REIT is a very specific tax structure.I am in investor in a syndicated Fund (yes a Fund is also a syndication) that is an LP structure and holds subsidiary REITs to help shelter tax implications at the property level.  

I plan on moving out of Virginia in the next year or so and I don't want to have an LLC here just holding my credit cards.So my question is would it make sense to have a foreign entity LLC holding company incorporated in Delaware or Wyoming for my credit cards and then have the Virginia Airbnb LLC under it as a subsidiary?

It may be worth a call to Lima One Capital or Lending One (a subsidiary of Blackstone Capital) to get a lead on a lender in Canada doing the same type of financing.All the best!

I work for a J-company, and we have wholly-owned subsidiaries in the US.

The subsidiary LLCs own the properties and the parent LLC owns the subsidiaries.

Short sales, the sub-prime melt down of 2007, 95% LTV loans to unqualified borrowers by Country-Wide Mortgage (Not the current B of A subsidiary), before that it was the Charles Keating / Lincoln Savings debacle that gave rise to the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), interest rates in the late 70's of 16%, but no loans because no equity and on and on.
