Attorney and/ or CPA recommendations for foreign investors

Posted Apr 27 2016, 04:49

So I'm in the process of setting up a company that will coach foreign investors to purchase rental properties in the US. Below is a rough list of the process I have put together, but I really need to communicate with some people who have walked foreign investors through the process in the past. I am specifically looking for an attorney that could help setup the entity and a CPA who could manage the accounts.

Any referrals for good attorneys or CPA's for this process?

Mike

1) Setup an LLC in the US owned by a foreign investors

2) Get a tax number for the LLC

3) Setup a bank account for the LLC

4) Transfer the cash from overseas to the LLC bank account

5) Find a property and make an offer from the LLC

6) Give POA to an "agent" to close on the property

7) Sign an agreement with a property management company
