I am also looking for a attorney and tax specialist that are very familiar in the real estate industry.

Hire/find a local Team full of local specialists that are willing to help you in your interested field.  

Experience,pure and simple.Always have a GC with you for your first dozen times you look at properties and write down everything they say about how much money per square foot it would cost to repair or replace the bones(roof,plumbing,electrical,foundation)and upgrade redecorating costs.After a while it will come naturally to you and you won't need a GC by your side every minute during evaluations.

I'm not a HUD specialist, but I have some lenders that specialize in this type of financing.  

If there is no such specialist in your area, try to find the best real estate attorney that has some extensive eviction experience.Last thing...check out www.erentpayments.com.  

You will also be taxed by US 15% by the US given the taxation treaty on any dividend distribution, and 12% on any interest you pay yourself from lending the initial funds to the company.It seems to me that a tax specialist you consult with should tell you about these 2 options, and explain to you whether you should loan the initial capital to the LLC, as it seems to me that it could alleviate the concern of double taxation of (1) profit and (2) dividend.You can PM me so we can share what material we have on offshore taxation.

He's also provided excellent references for RE Lawyer specialists (like eviction lawyer, etc).

I have experience in areas such as pre-foreclosures, flips, assignments, rehabs, rent to own, owner financingI am a transaction specialist where I work as the middle man to get the buyer and seller for the deal. 

I am not an attorney or tax specialist but my understanding of the tax benefit is if the property was "owner occupied" for 2 years out of the last 5.

It was a former vehicle repair shop which is now in complete disrepair.Is there any specialist commercial brokers for that type of asset that you would recommend?
