That being said, this offshore holding company structure has several non-tax benefits such as keeping the property outside of a U.S. probate court, as well as providing a certain degree of anonymity as to who is the ultimate beneficial owner of the property.

I don't think we need the Patriot Act to deal with North Korea.But in the end there is on other thing we do have to think about at the end of the article - "Speaking on condition of anonymity because of the political and legal sensitivity".

Brian Levredge was right about this - there seem to be a lot of very talented people in this part of the country who are out of a job.Bryan H, I had CL anonymize my email address.

Find a tenant who can put good monies down and make a higher then normal lease payment for him to take an active tax write-off if the seller allows that this is all done under IRC 163 h 4(d) as a beneficiary in the trust..We also use a triple net lease NNN so the tenant takes care of the property so no work needed on your part but you have to find the right tenant .. this is just an example of one possible deal..Another reason I invest with LT's is to protect the title and all investors in the deal from litigation or problems.I like the fact you have viable exit strategies very important in investing to have options..I would much rather be a principal and be involved in the property if I did all the work since you could lose it if he decides to go with somebody else since in a trust you can NOT be circumvented in the transaction you would vote to the trustee so the seller has control and anonymity and believe it or not a degree of asset protection especially if he holds his beneficial interest as an LLC or C corporation ( no legal advice intended)You can email me if you like to discuss but it looks overall ok I can not tell on the financing on the rent/lease amounts for the area or any other hidden expenses.

He doesn't have to identify himself and can remain anonymous.

These came to me randomly this evening...thanks anonymous sender person ;-)He was potty trained at birth.Objects in his mirror actually appear smaller.All his Easter Bunnies are vanilla.The only letters he ever buys are consonants.Right turns on red were his idea.He is 2 years older than his identical twin.When it rains really hard at his house, it only rains cats.He has never tasted juice from concentrate.It was his idea to change the name from Uno Equis.

If you want a trust for anonymity you can do that in addition to setting up the LLC.There are a ton of threads on this already.

Their ex-spouse may be trolling the boards so I need to keep this anonymous: The follow up question:If the relinquished property nets $2M, I take in a partner who also invests $2M, we borrow cash of $5M to purchase a $9M replacement property with us both equal partners using the "friend's cash" to close quickly - once the closing takes place - can I arrange for and obtain "new" financing on the property say for $7.2M or 80% LTV and close right away or must I wait the one year seasoning period to refinance or cash out??

I am trying to figure out the best strategy that would allow us to achieve both anonymity and liability protection.
