Frequently asked questions
Can foreign investors buy property in the U.S.?
Yes. There are generally no restrictions on foreign ownership of U.S. real estate, but the ownership structure affects tax, liability and estate planning, so it should be decided before purchase.
Should I buy investment property through an LLC?
Often yes, because an LLC separates the property’s liabilities from your personal assets and simplifies co-ownership. Financing, tax and transfer costs should be reviewed first.
Do you handle real estate joint ventures?
Yes. We draft and negotiate joint venture and operating agreements between investors, developers and operators.
