So, to separate the rare newbie who is willing to do the real work at educating himself on what really is necessary for success from the people who want to take what they perceive is the guru/mentor shortcut (or the “cheap” version in which instead of buying the program you hang around the edges seeking “free” information from those who have paid for those program) I will not answer specifically as to why the program they’re suggesting won’t work or is too risky or borders on illegal.  

This can allow for favorable tax treatment and potential tax deductions related to the properties.Management and Decision-Making: Establishing an LLC can formalize the management and decision-making structure for the properties.

Now - and I'm not going to get too political but simply state facts - we have an open border and LOTS of people have come in.

The only magic is that in 2004 the IRS formally made ownership of a membership interest in a Delaware Statutory Trust the same thing as owning the real estate itself. 

I do not recommend text for this as it's not as formal and they may not consider it.

I hate dealing with stuff like this.You’re right On the border so could go either way

This isn't meant to be an ultimatum, but just a reminder to do it even if it feels like an inconvenience or a formality. 

I just wanted to formally introduce myself.

Quote from @Kaitlin Scutari: It was not a formal letter. 

So a more formal setting is usually better for me personally.
