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

You can have the entities in different states but some states require you file a foreign entity document so you have rights in the state so if you had to you could evict a tenant as an example.

Simply No, rental income generated in US is taxed even if owned by a foreigner.  

Hi Max - FYI, in the case of the lender I work for, if you're a foreign national you'll have to have a permanent residence, a social security number and a credit score. 

I know for the 2023 year I will need to report rental income overseas under Schedule E, but can I also deduct interest on the US-based HELOC to offset rental income for a foreign property? 

That's the amendment passed by Congress...the one ratified by the states is very similar.Basically, if you're in a "well regulated militia," you have every right to carry a gun to secure the country against threats both foreign and domestic.

In the 90s, the Asian currency crisis saw the value of people's stocsk and their money suddenly falling up to 80 to 90%.

Take the Forex Market( the foreign exchange market) where people buy and sell currencies.

I've never found any gold or silver, and very few currency, usually some cash in an envelope, or stuck in cards or books.

Change your American money for Chinese currency.
