So, if you create an LLC in another state, you will need to register it as a foreign LLC in California.

In my area there is a lot of competition from hedge funds and foreign money, so the only way to get a great deal is to know about it before anyone else does.  

If you leave earnings to accumulate in a C Corp thinking you're getting around the double taxation, you'll eventually learn about the accumulated earnings tax...C Corp make sense under very limited fact patterns...e.g. foreign owners, owners that want heavy fringe benefits, silicon valley types that envision a 1202 stock sale exit strategy, etc. 

Yes, but you may be able to benefit from the foreign tax credit.

If my rental property is in Florida, and the property is owned by a WY or NV LLC, the LLC has to register in FL as a foreign corporation so whatever disclosure protection that may apply in NV will not apply in FL.

Account ClosedThere are added complications when there are foreigners wanting to invest in the US.Do they need an ITIN.Will the entity you have setup in the US be taxed differently for them in their countryIs there a Tax treaty between the US and their countryWill the income be considered ECI(effectively connected income) or FDAP(Fixed Determinable Annual Periodic)Will there if FIRPTA tax considerations on the saleWill there be withholding requirements on an annual basis on their incomeWill the foreigners be required to file a US tax return

We want to learn more about regulations with borrowing to foreign investors.

@Jason Krick  well in our neck of the woods EM deposits are 17k  LOL... so its foreign to brokers in other markets. 

Does any one have a private or hard money lender they could recommend us - as foreign nationals?
