@Ian Stevenson  there IS NO 100% financing for buy and HOLD  .. end of that discussion especially for foreigners.. you can pay cash many times and refinance out much or all of your cash.. but to buy or purchase with a 100% loan your wasting your time.

If not, register in Cali and get a foreign LLC in IL.

Hello everyone, Since I dont live in the US, was wondering if someone knows if is it possible to act like an agent abroad in order to sell maybe rent-ready properties to foreign investors and split commission with a US broker?

Scott The Book on Flipping Houses,The Book on Estimating ReHab Costshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbookThe US is the #1 country for foreigners to invest in real estate. 6 of the top 10 locations are in FL might be a great opportunity for private money.Good LuckPaul

As a foreigner investor I get this question a lot when it comes to buying in the United States.

I am a licensed managing broker and primarily only work with investors(foreign and domestic).

Actually, we re loooking for foreign investors to become our partnets, we offer them our contacts and a place for online presentation.

We have low inventory issues - foreign cash buyers - a rising economy & low interest rates with a pro-property president - having said that the norm of 7 year bull and 7 year bust cycles has already been jinxed & there are still newer local markets in some states where appreciation is on the up due to good schools - demand vs supply & high median income.

Sorry Im in Alberta and that practice is foreign to me.

As a foreigner what is the tax rate for renting property?
