forming LLC with non-citizens

[Daniel Suarez]

Hi All, 

I have some family members who are not residents, American citizens nor leave in the US and are interested in partnering to buy a multi-family with me. Does anyone have any experience with this? A couple of follow-up questions. 

• I know we can form an LLC if they get a TIN, any ideas on how foreign persons can get a TIN?

• Would there be any problems creating an LLC this way?

• Are tax implications any different than for American citizens?

Thanks so much in advance.
