Many foreign investors will find themselves being assessed tax at the same rates as US individuals.

So I figured I'd look to open up an account in San Diego (where I live), but so far after reaching out to two credit unions it seems they want an LLC-5/LLC-12 filed which I found out is a way of registering the LLC as a foreign LLC.

Considering the partner i am involved with have terrible credit and me being a foreigner what is the best way to go about it to ensure we get some sort of lending on these rentals?

Some states like Delaware, Wyoming, Nevada, are corporate tax haven with a long history of case laws that people flock to as foreign entities.

Something im doing on the side now is trading on the Foreign Exchange.

You could probably get a foreign exchange college kid 50 bucks to write it out for you.

It seems like focusing on foreign investors is a good strategy .

@Roger PooleIt may be best to do it through an IRA LLC if investing over seas since not all IRA custodians will wire funds to foreign bank accounts.

We would register here as a foreign entity, but then I also read about CA calling them "pseudo" foreign corps and that even if we were out of Nevada on paper, it would most likely be treated as a CA Corp anyway.      

FYI... not all syndications accept foreign investors.
