I'm interested in a 20+ unit apartment building that is owned by foreign investors, I through out the idea of offering a master lease with option and they said it would depend on what I offered...

We put an ad on Craigslist and had a Swedish foreign exchange student join us, and he actually paid $50 more a month because he wanted to guarantee he'd be chosen, decreasing each of our rent by $25/month.

Im sure I can find a way around it though.The RE attorney is needed out here since is overseas, just to lower the risk in the foreign country, and not get screwed by the government quickly.

. :)I can't yet wrap my head around you and SEC regs yet or foreign investing, don't worry I'll get there, I'm actually doing you a favor you know.......

You will be amazed at their reception to such a foreign act by a real estate guy.

And most of what has made us successful has to do with business experience not because we had a real estate background.Lastly, we do not spend any time with foreign investors.

Presently, I have a client from Malaysia who has appointed me to source on his behalf a credible foreigner with whomhe can jointly entrust a reasonable amount of money, which will be channeled into a highly lucrative business venture.

Congrats on coming over.The US is the #1 country for foreigners investing in RE.

If you're doing business in CA, you'll need to register your NV LLC as a foreign entity.
