You will get a lot of different opinions here.I think it has more to do with your mindset, how you treat your properties and the type of tenants you are getting.You are required to get Homeowners insurance and after talking to other vetted investors all lawsuits they had (so far) were covered under there homeowners insurance.However, there is always the “what if” what if something really terrible happens and they come after everything I have?

There are accountants and attorneys that will understand what is needed, and how to structure the entity that will allow you to invest in US syndications, and be treated more favorably from a tax perspective in your home country.Beyond those logistics issues, I believe syndications are a great investment for many investors, regardless of locale.
