This will avoid needing to foreign qualify your out-of-state entity in the State you are buying the property in.However I am wondering, if I am forming an LLC, with the sole purpose of buying tax liens (I am a foreign national btw), and I don't wish to limit my tax liens acquisition in just 1 State, but instead buy tax liens all over the US..Do i need to foreign qualify my LLC in EVERY State I buy these liens in?
