Investing in the USA from another country how do I structure?

[Joshua Brodnicki]

Hey,

I own a real estate investment agency in upstate New York. I have been approached by a few people that are citizens of Canada that want to invest in the USA. They want my help to invest here but I do not know if there are any legal issues that can arise being that they are not United States citizens. Can they purchase property here on their own? Can you have a buisness partnership with one partner being in the USA and one being in Canada and have the LLC structured in the USA?

Any help on this topic will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

It is possible. From a tax perspective, there may be additional filing requirements such as partnership withholding forms and the Canadian investor having to file annual income tax returns as well. It would be ideal for you/them to have a CPA who can provide guidance on tax issues.
