Remote Ownership Questions

[David Pittman]

Hi BiggerPockets community,

I'm reaching out to connect with anyone who is currently managing, or has previously managed, a US-based business while living outside of the United States.

Whether you're investing in real estate, running a company, or handling any kind of US business operations from abroad, I’d love to hear about your experiences. I’m especially interested in:

• 1.) The biggest challenges you’ve faced (banking, legal, taxes, team management, etc.)
• 2.) How you’ve structured your operations and communications
• 3.) Any tips or lessons learned for handling closings, documentation, or compliance from overseas
• 4.) Tools or systems that have made things easier
• 5.) Surprises—good or bad—that came with managing remotely
• 6.) Industry you found that works with a remote business lifestyle.

If you’re willing to share your story, advice, or even just connect for a chat, please reply here or send me a DM. I’m hoping to build a network of like-minded folks who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of running a US business from overseas.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Looking forward to connecting,
