Frequently asked questions
What are the tax implications of owning US real estate through an LLC?
A foreign-owned US LLC holding US real estate is subject to FIRPTA withholding on sale and must file a US return. We strongly recommend a US tax adviser for real estate structures.
Should I use a separate LLC for each property?
Many investors do, it limits liability to each individual property. We can form multiple LLCs at a discounted rate.
Which state is best for a real estate LLC?
Wyoming offers strong charging order protection and privacy. Many investors also form in the state where the property is located to avoid foreign entity registration fees.
Can a non-resident LLC hold a US mortgage?
Yes, though financing terms and lender availability vary significantly for foreign-owned entities. Consult a US real estate attorney.
