Foreign company buying USA properties
I'm in the thinking/planning/structure phase of an idea.
I've got a company located outside the USA that has some money, would like to use that money to purchase property (ideally commercial 5+ unit residential buildings) in the USA.
Looking for ideals/structure on how do best do this? I am assuming I would need to create a US entity of some type, owned by the foreign company?
Then somehow the foreign company loans or gives money to the USA company as initial funding?
How would banks in the USA look at this? I'm sure a brand new US based company with no history and no sales is not going to quality for financing.
Anyone have any input, books I might read or accountants/attorney that specialize in working with foreign entities?
