If you want to protect for instance US real estate, even if the property is owned by a foreign asset protection trust or a foreign LLC, you are not immune to a judge overstepping and completely disregarding it, directly seizing the US asset that will be easily reachable.However, if you have foreign assets (real estate, foreign brokerage accounts, bank accounts), then it may be beneficial to have them owned by a foreign asset protection structure.Tax wise, you will have some more paperwork to file with the IRS, but nothing really too difficult.

Why people, yet again, think STR is some mutant of a thing so immune from the rules and standards of business is beyond me, it's just a micro-hotel, it's not all that different a thing. 

Licensed, has all shots and immunizations, name/breed/age/weight, pic, maybe even a meet-and-greet.

And with the social entitlement (welfare) system being as it is with such a high bar of support, that makes roughly 55% all but immune from impact of such and if anything, they spend more, greater aiding inflation.

@Brian Burke  just like all real estate in a bad down cycle nothing is immuned even though we see people all the time on BP say in a bad market rentals will get stronger.. but they just dont know what they dont know.seem many a syndicated deal go turtle up.. generally in bad economic times.. or just plain mis management or even fraud by sponser.and I predict since do it your self syndication is being taught like flipping houses.. the next 5 years are going to find many a deal with those who just bit off a little more than they can chew..

Supposedly I'm only immune for the next 3 to 6 months. 

They tell you to factor in repair estimates supported by three licensed contractor bids, scope of work and breakdowns of material and labor costs, financing costs, holding costs, property tax, insurance, utilities, lawn care or snow removal, baby-sitting, coddling, pacifying or any other unforeseen provisions required to provide complete immunity to your powerless and unwitting buyer from personal responsibility.The numbers you disclose on your marketing material should be limited to price, ARV, supporting comparables and a “rough†repair estimate.
