@Noah Zielinski,we recently had a chat on a similar topic that may give you some ideas and some people to call out to:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/108738-foreigner-partnering-with-a-us-citizenBy the way, I think you posted some months back that you were going to travel to US around this time to look at properties.

All business expenses and assets are located in IL and IA.My questions is: Since I live in CA am I subject to a Foreign Entity Tax of $800/year?

but who was I to educate them on timber values.. that's why they hired an agent.but when your dealing direct  well that's a different matter.. and we can all say they are big boys etc etc.. folks here in the US are tend to be much softer than foreign investors just culturally..  

I even get no-income-verification loans and Loans for foreign nationals, cash flow programs, etc.

I'm not certain if the capital gains tax exclusions apply for foreign nationals.

We are competing with foreign investors that mostly want capital preservation, and are happy with 3-4% cap rates.  

I do not live in Florida and have never even has been there but it's changed immigration of people that have lived in this country and foreigners could change your environment.
