Having moved to NC myself (from CA) I think it's important to share a quote from Toyota as to why so many companies are moving here: Toyota lists seven reasons why it chose North Carolina for its first battery plant: an extensive highway system, four international airports and two seaports, onsite rail, a diverse workforce, renewable energy availability, world-renowned education system, and strong government partnership at both the state and local levels.

I am interested in raising money internationally with private lenders.

Does anyone have experience with investing in notes with a private lender who is international?

Hi, my name is Josh with Sotheby's International Realty and Sportstar Relocation.  

We work with many international investors. 

Easiest way is to start with family and friends, people in your internal network.

If not what’s the best way to locate a lender for an international deal? 

IRR is the Internal Rate of Return.

Since LIBOR is an international index I would choose FHLB rate since it would most likely match Americas Macroeconomic Policy/Condition.

You should engage a CPA familiar with international taxation, especially since you seem to live abroad and are contemplating investing in foreign companies.Generally yes, a foreign corporation that holds and rents real property would be a PFIC...however a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) is statutorily excluded from being a PFIC and is subject to a different set of rules.
