I work with a significant number of hotel entities, I can address this from a tax perspective, I'll leave the liability issues to the attorneys.The lessee / lessor entity structure can be used for a few different tax reasons:1) There is a REIT investor - in which case they can only have "Rental" type income, while hotel operations generates "Ordinary" income. 

I wouldn't waste my money on that personally.

Meeting them puts a face to the name and forms a human connection... you're not just after there money. 2) Provided them with a rental application.

Make money, save money, buy a house in a neighborhood they believed in, manage it well, and hold it forever.

It's another form of borrowing money.

They're not going to waste their time helping foreigners knowing that many will end up not buying.I'm happy to refer you to my lawyer once you have found a property but it's better that you choose one in the region and province you're going to invest in as there could be "legal" differences pertaining to you.On another note, it's important that you realize that strategies that work in the US might not work in Spain and financing is different so you might want to figure out first if that works for you first to make sure you don't waste time and money unnecessarily.Hope this helps.

So, yes investors have been using creative or private money financing. 

Yes, I don't want to waste time, but I also don't want tenants wasting their money.

I am still doing the same work but set up the LT and LLC to provide improved asset protection but obviously want to structure my business so that I have both asset protection while maximizing tax benefits that i can.To be fair to my CPA he didn’t say this would be an issue, he is in the process of doing research to verify the impact of the organizational structure changes and I was looking to educate myself in parallel obviously hoping my research and my CPA’s landed in the same place.

Most collection companies charge a percent of the money collected.
