Best structure to bring non-US funds into real-estate investment

[Cihan Sahin]

I have friends and relatives outside of US who wants to invest in real estate in US. I am a US citizen with an excellent credit and already own a home in CA. I have been living here for 15 years.

The plan is to bring about 150-200k fund from outside of US and combine it with my 100k to invest in rental properties. 

I am looking for guidance on a structure that is:

- Most tax efficient from capital gains 

- Most cost effective to maintain the structure

- Allow me to leverage my personal credit 

Any guidance is appreciated.
