International Investor

[Adriana Gatti]

I'm a newbie in the REI, actually learning from the beginning but as a decide to change my life and como to stay a while in America, I need start investing soon and make money. However: I'm not a US citizen. Because of that I have no credit score and probably to invest here I must pay cash. If so, I have some money to invest but lot of things will need to be changed in my planning.

Since I need to invest soon, all information about taxes and advantages for international Investors will be very welcome.  Any advice where I should research about it? 

I hope you close a good deal today! Thank you in advance.
