I'm working to invest my capital in assets with growth potential for long term financial security and independence from corporate America.

Find yourself a good local corporate/securities lawyer and talk through your idea.  

But in a mom n pop business sense not a corporation business sense. 

@James Miller I have a basic understanding of what the tax benefits are between the classes of corporations and I'll look more into the manager managed vs member managed, my current company is set as manager managed LLC.

I want to learn how the american real estate market functions and learn how to move around investments and profits.

Please someone give me advicr on how to get a foothold during the worst year and a half I have ever experienced as I have never faced this before as I always had a great corporate job.

As for my background, I have a little experience in Real Estate investing, in the Canadian environment (full remodel of a 1948 house, 2 years of corporate leasing, sold my house by myself).

Often Limited Partnerships or Corporations are formed locally and these vehicles invest abroad.

An LLC is a pass through entity (also not a corporation), therefore does not benefit from the low corporate tax rates from the states mentioned.

These are my lessons:We rent our home furnished to a lot of movie productions and corporate rentals.
