It might not also hurt to consult a US attorney on legal entity selection and state selection for organizing/incorporating, and a CPA/CA in your country and your parents country.That said, you're not taking into consideration IRC Sec 1446 exposure with a MMLLC taxed as a partnership.

Do great work, stay excessively organized, create a marketing plan and execute it consistently, take care of your people, donate a small portion of your profits to your favorite local charity, stay involved in your community, participate in any local city council/HOA meetings regarding rentals, understand your industry and be able to articulate what you do, how you do it, and why you are better than the other companies in your area.If you can keep that up, you'll do great!
