Accountant and Attorney for a Canadian Investing in US

Cody Shearer

Hello fellow BP investors! I am looking for an accountant and an attorney that deal with Canadians investing in the US. I am trying to decide whether I should put my first 1 or 2 properties down here in my own name or into an LLC. As well as a few more legal and tax questions. I'm looking for answers on how to not get double taxed in both Canada and the USA. If anyone has gone through this and has some advice to share or an accountant and attorney to talk to that would be much appreciated! Thanks to all of you in advance.

In most cases, you'll likely want to use an LP not an LLC.
