Although a bank or insurance company would fit nicely into Berkshire’s existing platform, Canada does have restrictions on foreign ownership of those assets – so my bet would be either an energy or utility-oriented opportunity (plenty of them in Alberta) or perhaps a significant stake in Alimentation Couche-Tard, which owns the Circle K brand and has a significant global presence, potentially meshing nicely with Berkshire’s recent purchase of Pilot Flying J.This year, I had the pleasure of travelling to Omaha with some friends from New York University’s Real Estate Development program and got to catch up with old friends from all over the world.Alas, my favorite Buffett-ism from the meeting was "Understand that the market is there to serve you, not instruct you".

@Cosmas PaulosiWe have partners who are foreign investors.

Hi @Jonas FrederiksenI’de be happy to discuss your options.As mentioned above, up to 75% financing option is available, including foreign liquidity for eligibility.

So, if you create an LLC in another state, you will likely need to register it as a foreign LLC in California.

That said, if you have clients that need long term debt and are investors, there are programs for foreign national real estate investors that could work. 

I'm a new (foreign) investor and just bought a new property in Detroit with cash as a first move.

My local lender I use in Memphis is very familiar with lending to foreigners with hard money!

Many have foreign names.An investor should ask a PMC a LOT of questions to understand HOW they will execute their services.

I know many Branson shows have foreigners that move to the area for xxxxxxx amount of time to do a show.
