I am reviewing a potential tenant for one of my single family homes, and I've run into an interesting situation.  I have an application from a couple who is getting married on July 24th.  He is an IT guy with a stable...

Two choices, form an entity in each of those states or file in each of those states as a foreign corporation (entity) otherwise, your entity will likely be disregarded.As to hiding out and hiding your identity, all you're doing is delaying the process, if you are sued, the attorney simply asks the court to have owners identified if there is some convoluted set up, which the court orders and that may tick off a judge.

@Matt Daley, I won't comment on the tax question although I don't believe you have to pay income tax in the foreign state.

Here was an interesting article on Series LLC's and asset protection I found: https://www.corporatedirect.com/c-corps-s-corps/series-llcs-where-angels-fear-to-tread/I'm also looking at investing out of state, which means I either need an LLC (or multiples) in each state I plan to invest, or I can form in Utah and register with a foreign qualification in another state (or something like that).

Also, Non-US citizens cant have civil judgements deemed against them on the local level, as US courts dont hold jurisdiction on foreign non-citizen individuals in foreign countries.

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
