My plan is to set up a structure to keep my 3 US properties paying taxes in the US. 

These solutions can make a huge difference, and the long-term option will really help set your STR up for success.

@Grace Tapfuma Grace, love the ambition—setting a goal like a triplex by the end of the year means you're already ahead of most people who just ‘think’ about getting into real estate.

She will get you set up with a consultation.They specialize in High-Level Tax Strategy, using real estate as the primary vehicle. 

If you're still shopping markets, I'm happy to set up a call to discuss how Memphis could be a good fit for you depending on what strategy you're looking to implement.

U have to understand the mind set of many people in these markets THEY PREFER to rent they dont want to own.. its not like someone on the Coasts in high priced markets where they have seen folk get wealthy just owning a few homes. and your not adding in Property tax and maintenance.. folks that are/were renters just dont have the same mind set when it comes to taking care of the property or the cash to do so.But until you try it and actually talk with those in the market there is no way of knowing that many of these folks simply prefer to be renters..

SDIRA has been extremely accommodating in the setting of an eviction that occurred because the manager that they previously used neglected to tell them.

Tons of returns set this system off: errors, no income lots of expenses, disproportionate expenses, etc.When all that is done, IRS has a budget for how many returns they will put in the audit queue.

Also, I have heard about the benefits of having an LLC set up to manage rental properties but not sure if this is advisable at my stage (e.g., not a lot of properties to manage).

that will almost certainly set you back.hope this helps.
